“Siblings–the definition that comprises love, strife, competition and forever friends.”
~Byron Pulsifer
We traveled to California for the long weekend to visit family. These three are my adorable cousins, and it was so.much.fun to see them again.
It had been awhile–the last I saw them, I was pregnant with Jackson. My children had never met them, so I was so happy for everyone to be together. In my mind’s eye, they were small children that loved to run around, hunting for bugs and sweetly coloring at a table. I got to know three very much older-acting tweens (and a teen) this weekend.
D, the oldest, I quickly discovered loves all things aquatic. He is intelligent and curious.
The lone girl in between two brothers, S, still loves to be creative and has such a sweet, mothering side. She happily chased after Addie as she ran from room to room and watched out for her the whole weekend. 
Little S is the kind-hearted, banana-loving (his nickname is Monkey) younger bro. He loves donuts with sprinkles and can row a mean paddle board. 
It was a fabulous feeling to get to know my cousins all over again in these new stages of their lives. We had a blast and stayed busy the whole weekend. How fun that we now live on the same side of the country. Thanks for showing us SUCH a wonderful time!!
