Hookie!

This weekend 2 of Benson's sisters came into town...and each brought 2 of their kids {the others had to stay home}....unfortunately most of the weekend I was stuck at home with someone having stomach flu {Lucy, me, then Ben}.


Anyway, here is Nate with his cousin, Tiger. These two are only a couple months apart and played SOO well together! This picture makes me happy...
Sammy, Luke, and Pyper...3 peas in a pod...

The whole gang...Parker, Logan, Justin, Luke, Pyper, Sammy, Tiger, Nate, Ben, Lucy, and Madi {hard to believe this isn't even half of the Bashford cousins!}

SO...since we missed out on a lot of the fun of the weekend...we decided to ditch school on Monday and have a FUN-FILLED day!!!

Started out at Build-A-Bear...waiting to stuff their bears or dragons :)

Sammy and Justin giving their bears a bath...Logan supervising..

Tiger helping Nate...Nate LOVED Build-A-Bear...this was his 1st time going and he seriously had so much fun!

The whole group with their new friends :)

After Build-A-Bear...we ate lunch...since it was like a vacation {wait, we weren't on vacation...they were...oh well} we had Happy Meals {of course} followed by Blizzards from DQ!

Then off to play at the play place...
Pyper and Sammy are seriously best friends/ cousins

Lucy liked the play place too...but turned out she had a few to many "helpers"

Okay...then it was back to Nana's to SWIM...my boys stayed in the pool for THREE HOURS STRAIGHT!! They were little fishes...can't wait to go back to swim soon!!

Popsicles in the pool...a tradition at Nana's house!

Lucy even had her 1st Popsicle...loved it!

Then Lucy and I went with the boys to do a little Geo-caching...The Krieger boys are evidently really into this and the little boys wanted to give it a shot too...Benson took the boys to this park and HE found it in like 2 seconds...turns out that wasn't the excitement they were looking for...but it was still fun.

Oh man, seriously...how much fun can you have in one day? It was amazing!
