Joyfully Weary

Last weekend we headed to southern Illinois to see some family. Every summer Jeremy's aunts host Camp Cousins for all their nieces and nephews, who are over five. It's basically a weekend long pool and junk food party. This was Big Buddy's first year. He had a blast! His favorite part was sleeping in the tent with the older boys.  While he was at Camp Cousins Jeremy's aunts put the rest of us up in a cabin at Giant City State Park . It was beautiful. There were lots of rock cliffs and gorgeous trees.  Watching these two sleep together was so precious, they are such good friends!

This past weekend the kids and I left husbandie at home and embarked a little adventure to Kentucky  where we watched Aunt Emily compete in a horse show. Maca joined us for the trip and we made a stop in Indianapolis to pick up Aunt Heather and Baby Wren. The Kentucky Horse Park was beautiful and it was such a special treat to see Aunt Emily doing what she loves.  Here are few pictures of our adventure.  *photo credit: maca aunt em's dog lily is probably the most well behaved dog ever.  aunt heather and baby wren if there is dirt my boys are happy "this plant is thirsty so i'm gonna water him" taking care of zaida a celebrity sighting these two are going to be best buds - little lady has been singing "baby wren, baby wren, babbbbyyy wreeeeennn" nonstop since we returned home.  aunt em showing in the rolex stadium - so proud of her! *photo credit: aunt heather I was a little nervou...
