More Cousins! (Part 2)

The FUN continues... On Saturday we went to Sea World!
Petting the water monitor!

Checking out the polar bears with daddy!

Everyone checking out the beluga whales!

Enjoying the ergo!

Those penguins look familiar!

Katie and daddy penguins!

Waiting for the Shamu show to begin with grandpa and Kenna!

Ethan enjoyed the Shamu show and can't wait to watch another one! Although, I have to add that he was more interested in how the giant tv screens slid and rotated than the huge whales jumping out of the tank.

Shamu!

Grandpa's hat!

Ethan wanted to sit and watch the roller coaster, trying to figure out how it worked, of course. He's definitely our little engineer!

Feeding the bat rays!

Katleyn showed no hesitation feeding the bat rays!

On Sunday we went to church in the morning and had a day of rest (much needed after all our fun activities earlier in the week).
A yummy treat, lollipops!

All the cousins!

Grandpa hugs!

The whole family!

The next day we were off to Legoland, woohoo! It was Ethan and Katleyn's first time to Legoland.
Enjoying the boat ride on the Fairy Tale Brook!

Shooting the animals with Aunt Melissa!

The conductors of the train, Ethan and Nathaniel!

Pulling up the rear in the caboose, Kenna, Katie, and Grandma!

Grandpa and Emily!
 

Prisoners in Duplo Playtown!



Lil' Driver!

Watching with grandma!

Racing at the Fun Town Police and Fire Academy with Uncle Chris!

Being brave and riding the helicopter with grandpa!

Katelyn loved the Lego people! She often asked, "Whats people doing?"

The next day we hit Legoland again, but this time our destination was the Water Park!
Cheese!

Stomping and jumping to make music. Everyone is making music!

Daddy took another day off work to play with us!

Pilots Nathaniel and Uncle David!

Splashing!

Loving the water!

Grandma and Grandpa watched Emily so that David and I could splash with Ethan and Katie. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Turning the wheel to make the water go.

Whee! Right before we were about to leave Ethan decided he wanted to try to water slide! He definitely liked it!

We ate a few dinners at our house and the kids loved playing up in Ethan's spaceship, traveling to the different planets. It was pretty quiet and when I went to check on them this is what they were up to, having a blast!

Our last day together was a low key day at grandma and grandpa's house...
Sprinkler fun!

Filling up their bottles.

Filling up Katie's "bath".

Katelyn enjoyed sitting in the wagon filled with water.

Grandma snuggles!

We had SO much fun with our cousins, we're really glad they were able to come out and visit this summer. A gigunda (Ethan's new favorite word) thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for ALL the fun activities and delicious lunch and dinners. 

We had a blast and now need a vacation to recover from our vacation!

Zzzz!
