The annual visit from the cousins!!
 |
| It all goes by so fast... |
My kids look forward to the annual visit from the cousins almost as much as they look forward to their birthdays. And I look forward to it much much more than my birthday. The only down side to the visit is that we pack so much into it that before we know it they're boarding their plane for home. This year my fab sister and I did a driving tour of Wa101, nearly completing the full northern loop. We overnighted in the Hoh River Rainforest and then met up with the rest of the family at Seabrook. Later in the visit we spent tons of time camping (and fishing). We BBQ'd with the extended family and partied in the backyard whenever we could. It was glorious. I can't wait for the visit next summer!
