KC visit

A short-but-sweet visit to KC over Memorial Day weekend to get all the cousins together!!

 V and Max were making a "bunny nest."

 At a sweet new little aquarium with O.

 Popping up inside the bubble! 

 Max fills the space!

 All the cousins!

So sweet!  I have virtually no photos of the grownups.  Ha ha!  But it was so great to hang out with my siblings.  I do wish we lived closer together. 

On another note, I ran my Dam to Dam 20K race yesterday.  It was a beautiful morning, and despite the fact that I woke up at 3am (buses to start began at 5am) I felt great!  I was happy with my time, which included some time waiting in line for a Port-a-Potty.  I was totally spent afterwards, but I am proud to have accomplished it just in time for turning 43!  Woot!

More summer fun...

I voyaged to KC with the kids and had a lovely couple days before I had to come back to teach in G-town. The kids stayed there with Grandma and Grandpa, and though we had a tough good-bye, I know they'll be having loads of fun!! Much more than if they were here while I teach and clean the house! We already had some fun with cousin O:

They have the same hair!

Running in the sprinkler helps ease the onus of the ridiculous heat wave.

The fountain at Crown Center is such a great place for photo ops! And a great place to keep cool!
