Kellen, Maddie, Brooklyn Law and Abbie and Lexie Huntington came to wonderful Roosevelt on Sunday for two days of "cousin time" before the actual reunion began. Kellen loves to work so we were exceptionally glad that we had plenty of fences for him to paint in the hot, hot sun! Good news for him was that, since we now live in the tropics, it rains every afternoon, so that he could have a little reprieve!
After the three p.m. rainstorm, we took the kids to Steinaker State Park to play in the incredibly full lake. We soon realized that we needed more floatation devices and so I ran to KMart and came back with the some might sweet ones. Unfortunately we didn't bring our pump so the kids had to work for a very long time to blow them up.
It was well worth it once they got it done!
The girl cousins held their third annual lemonade stand today as well. They stayed up until 2:30 a.m. making their signs and then got up and cookies three different kinds of cookies and made lemonade and slushies. The business was very successful until....you guessed it...3 p.m.!!!
That is when the afternoon rainstorm came and we had to run for cover. Non of us made it before we were drenched.
Tonight the group waited til dusk to go and play Kick the Can. They made it approximately 10 minutes before....another tropical storm hit.
