Family Fun

This summer I couldn't wait to see my family in California! For our family, we decided to wait until we were all fully vaccinated before gathering at my brother Jason's house for a week of fun. We spent the whole week swimming in the pool, watching movies outside, and cooking together. Since we hadn't been together since Christmas 2019, there was a simple joy in being together. We didn't need fancy outings or activities...just each other.


As a special surprise, I brought a surprise gift for the girls to open; it was big and hand wrapped with lots of duct tape so it wasn't easy to open. I'm not sure who had more fun - the adults watching all the kids trying to open the box, or the kids opening it? Both girls love to play with dolls and last year we had all chipped in to get them American Girl dolls with clothes and accessories. The gift was an American Girl doll travel trailer given to me and I had been waiting for our get together to bring it out in person, since it was so cost prohibitive to send by mail. In the end, the boys not only helped the girls open it but also spent time playing with them. All of the cousins get along well and love playing together (see pic below).



While we were there, both girls gained enough confidence to jump off the diving board, swim in the deep end of the pool, let go of the life jackets, and by the end they were jumping off the diving board into the center of the blow up donut!


Please enjoy these short videos of our fun times together! I'm already looking forward to our next gathering!
