Cousin Camp 2010

Lincoln and I have a fun-filled week with Jordan and her kiddos, Eli and Phoebe. In the past, we have packed each day they are here with many activities but this trip we had only 2 big adventures with lots of swimming in the pool and movies. It was a great week to spend together.

On Wednesday, we ventured out to Hawaiian Falls for some water fun. If you have younger children (like youngest than 14) then this is the place for you. It is more family friendly, especially for the little ones. They have a few big kid slides but lots for kids to do, such as a lazy river, many little kid slides, and a splash ground. We all had a ton of fun. The adults traded spots from watching Phoebe and Lincoln in the little kid area to riding rides with Eli.

Lincoln loves to splash in the water so he was content to sit and watch all day.
Phoebe loved this little kid slides. She would squeal as she came down then wait at the bottom for this giant water bucket to dump water on the slides then scurry up to slide again before it dumped again. Grandaddy taught her to wait for the water to dump after she was caught in the dump and was not happy about it.

Lincoln decided to chew on his swimsuit string to pass some time.

Here are the three waterbabies after a day in the sun.....none of them wanted to take this picture, can you tell?!

The cousins traveled up north on Friday afternoon to visit the newest cousin, Isaac. I am not sure he is ready for all this chaos but he sure is loved on already.

Grandaddy and Nena with their 4 chickies!

It is a great sign that he can already sleep with everyone around...isn't he sweet!

Saturday was a low-key day with lunch at Eno's (which is yummy) and more pool time.

Here is Super Princess. We are unsure what her super power is but she is darn cute!

We had a great week but now we are getting better. Thursday evening, Lincoln had a high fever so my mom and I took him to an Urgent Care where we were told he had an ear infection. We picked up antibiotics and Lincoln and I skipped out the zoo trip (I was very sad about this!) Then Saturday he woke up with a blister on his mouth, which we thought was a fever blister. Then he kept getting more and more blisters on his hands and between his toes so we diagnosed him with hand/foot/mouth disease. Awesome.....apparently you can only get it once so that is a plus. We think he must have gotten it from the waterpark. Eli has already had it but Phoebe had not. Sunday morning, guess who woke up with a fever? Yep, Jordan drove home with a sick little girl.

It was a great week even if it ended with being sick in the end. When you get all these kids together we know that someone is going to get something (also Grandaddy ended the week with pink eye and a chest cold!) anyone want to join our Cousin Camp?! :)
