A Visit with Cousins!

Aunt Katie and her kids came to visit Las Vegas in August, so we met halfway so we could see them. We decided halfway was about Cedar City, so that sounded like as good of a place as any to meet. We had no idea what there was to do there, but we soon found out there was plenty!
By the time we got there, everyone was hanging out in the hotel room. You might wonder what is there to do in a small hotel room with lots and lots and lots and lots of kids? We had no problem entertaining ourselves, without the tv even!
We talked.
We played hide-and-seek.
We fed baby Blake whatever we wanted to.
We cheesed for the camera.
We watched Weston. (We are not sure what he was doing or why he was wearing goggles, but it was entertaining!)
And when we started to get tired, we just sat and watched our cousins play whatever it is that they were playing.
When we finally decided it was bedtime, we divided up.
Not as families, but as boys
And girls!
Sleep was very important because the next day we had big plans.
Breakfast at a hotel is always fun!
We got to eat breakfast in our pajamas.
And we got to eat all of the donuts, cereal, and juice that we wanted!!
Next, we went to visit the pool.
For some reason, no one else came in the whole time we were there! I don't understand why not! Surely all of the kids in the pool,
and "luke warm" tub didn't scare them off!
Since we had it all to ourselves, we took time to play pool baseball,
watch Morgan do a belly flop,
feed baby Blake,
and just hang out!
After we got tired of the pool, our next stop was the park.
This park had the normal things like swings,
slides,
climbing nets,
and shade to hang out in.
But, it also had other fun stuff, like a reflected sound area,
a bug hunt,
a music area,
Tiny tunnels for baby Blake to crawl through,
and a giant turtle to take a picture on!
After the park, it was time to eat again. Apparently I gave my camera a rest at this point!
Then, it was on to the bouncy slide place. We definitely got our money's worth there because the kids were constantly going down the slides.
When they got tired of the slides, they went to box with the giant boxing gloves.
Then, it was back to the slides!
Even Blakey had a turn!
And then, it was back to the boxing ring! This time with the younger group getting in also. Even if the gloves were as big as they were!
While we were at the bouncy place, we had to celebrate Weston's (and Blake's) birthday since we didn't get a chance too!
So we broke out the party hats, and the presents.
When Weston opened this present from his (white-trash?) cousins, ...
He had to switch hats!
We couldn't let Blake go without a present, so he got one too!
Finally, we finished the party with cupcakes!
This picture captured the feeling of every one. We stayed up too late, woke up too early, tried to squish way too many activities into one day, and could hardly keep our eyes open to eat our cupcakes at the end, but it was all worth it!
Until next time Cedar City! We miss you Weston, Blake, and Aunt Katie!
