cousin visit

two weekends ago we had our cousins from illinois visit us at the lake. it was so great to hang out and relax with them this year. a surprise heart surgery kept us from doing that last year. it's so great to have such a large close family. we're the only ones that don't live in illinois so we miss out on a lot, but when we do see everyone it's like no time has gone by. it's also so much fun because now there are so many babies in the family. so now carson and brooks will have tons of "cousins" to play with every time we visit just like my sister and i did growing up.

a little swim time with his new buddy.

brooks will hate me for this one day but i just had to do it :)
