Who came to visit on a beautiful weekend in May? Yes, cousin E and his mama and daddy (and the newest little cousin in Aunt Em's belly, of course)!
The kids eagerly anticipated Aunt Emily, Uncle James, and Elias's visit, and they had lots of fun with them. The highlight of the weekend was water play: Jeremy got out the slip-'n'-slide, and we soaked the back yard for hours as the kids ran, slide, poured buckets, and got creative with their fun.
Elias wasn't too sure about the slip'n'slide initially, but he ended up having a blast. He kept pretending to fall over and then would laugh and laugh: "E fall down!"
Sunday morning we got flood irrigation; I think E was overwhelmed with all that water! He stared at it stunned for a while. But he ended up joining the others in running around, and he and Josiah spent quite some time chasing each other across the yard, splashing through that wonderful irrigation water.

E's pants were a little too big for him, so he went with the old-man style
Clara was pleased with all the attention!
Abby got cold and wanted to be bundled up
Clara loved Uncle James' beard!
We're looking forward to a repeat visit after the new cousin arrives! We need more little ones underfoot. :)
