These kids all have one thing in common - they are all quite silly! Just look at what happens when I try to take a group picture of them! (Only Dustin is missing, he was taking a nap.)
Charlie has two cousins his age on this side. I think that makes him pretty lucky! Just one catch... they're both girls. And, they happen to be at the age where gender starts to matter. Still, they did a pretty good job playing together. Charlie just wasn't too interested in some of the girly things they wanted to do... Like playing pigtails and ponytails.
So he started latching on to some of his older boy cousins. So he joined in with Adam and Braxton on their game instead of playing with the girls.
Charlie idolized Adam, who turned seven a few days after our vacation ended. My first indication that Charlie liked Adam was when he started to imitate him. Adam knows all the words to the Phineas and Ferb theme song. Charlie now knows about half of it as well. Good thing I like that show! Adam was also very helpful at teaching Charlie all about his new Leapster.
Charlie also really liked Braxton (9) and Evin (11). Braxton made lots of paper airplanes for him, and Evin made him a really cool arm cannon. Charlie still has one of the planes and the arm cannon in his room. I think he wishes that they were here and they could make more things for him!
Dustin is a year and a half and very cute. Ephram couldn't keep his eyes off of him. Neither could I... kind of starting to worry about what mayhem we are headed for with Ephram in the next year! Dustin was constantly on the move, and almost always very happy!
Quinlan and Charlie got to spend some time at Grandma Hayman's house... they really did play together well. They both really liked all of the fruit Grandma had!
Charlie and Ephram also got to meet one of their second cousins - Isabel - while we were at Grandma Hayman's. Isabel is one as well, just a little younger than Dustin. And was also all over the place. Ah, I hope I have a little more time until Ephram is that mobile!
I did manage to take a couple of good pictures of almost all of the Boyce cousins together... Too bad Dustin was napping. I guess we will have to all get together soon to try again!
