Another cousin visit

I must say from the outset that all these photos have been heisted from my sister-in-law, Rachel, who is also the mother of the two youngest cutie pies in most of them.

They and my brother Dave came from Kansas last week for a much-anticipated visit. What fun to see how the twins have grown...they're walking! And (almost) talking!

Our kids had been looking forward to this visit so so much. I don't know if it fully lived up to their expectations (does it ever?) and there was a lot of parallel (rather than together) play, but all told they do love their cousins a LOT.

(They just don't like for their cousins to ride this particular trike/tractor.)

Drew especially seems to be a farmyard kind of kid. Those sheep were like a magnet to him. Is he the son of a vet or something?

Playing with water was a special treat.

As were some fancy toys we had on hand just for the occasion.

 This cannot be other than David's son.

Fingers getting nipped.

The line-up of Russian Swissys.

 With Opa.


Yerba-slurping was a common refreshment, as usual.

Riding in Opa's big tractor.

Learning to share. And color-coordinate.


 This is definitely Rachel's daughter.

 Here's to many more summer visits from twin cousins!

And a final round of Reere gret, reere gret... for the road.
