Last Saturday we were blessed to have Grandpop Copp and Tiana travel safely from Maryland to Manhattan. Sadly Grandpop's visit was quick. He was here only until Thursday morning, but we made the most of his time with us! Tiana however, was able to stay a bit longer! We kept busy and had lots of fun!!
There were many cousin sleepovers!!
On one of the days we visited the Discovery Center and saw the dinosaur exhibit.
When we were done inside, we went outside and enjoyed the fountains and a picnic lunch!
These kiddos had so much fun playing "family" and pretend!
On Wednesday we got to see Great Graddad and Grandmom Copp. They drove up from Auburn and got to see both our home and the Caywoods. They even got to tour Manhattan, Steven's lab, and Brad's work place. Such a fun day!
Snapped a quick pic of one of the morning sunrises, BEAUTIFUL!
On another of the days we visited the Cinema and saw the Madagascar Penguins movie. The kids loved it!
Tiana is such a good cousin!
On Friday we visited the gymnastics gym in Wamego. The kids had a blast!
Then, in celebration of the opening night of the Olympics, Aunt Janell planned some "Olympic" backyard games. The kids really took this seriously! There was a balloon slingshot (tried to get your balloon in the middle of a circle on the other side of the lawn).
There were balance beam routines!
And hurdles!
At the end the kids all got chocolate medals and we sang the national anthem. What a fun time! Great idea Aunt Janell!!
The kids even had Olympic torch snacks while watching the opening ceremony!
The next morning we had donuts with the Caywoods to celebrate their amazing run in the "Brew to Shoe" race!
After getting cleaned up we packed a lunch and headed to the zoo for the "Water Safari Day." There were lots of kids activities set up throughout the zoo. It was a lot of fun!
We just love hanging out with cousins!
Until next time!
