We all had such a great time going to see the cousins this year. I had a conference in Chicago so the girls and Bob spent the better part of the week imposing on Steve and Helene and the girls, then I finally got to join for the weekend.
Maria blew us away with the fact that she is driving (permit) and has turned into a gorgeous and sweet young lady. She took a lot of time out of her busy weekend to spend time with the girls and make them feel appreciated. She even "friended" her aunt on Facebook which was sweet.
Steve was so helpful making sure we had such a relaxing trip. Picking us up at the airport, taking Ashton to the store and becoming a favorite for Jacqueline to tease.
Kelsey surprised us by being SOOO tall. At 5'9" she is on the volleyball team and helped them win first place in the tournament this weekend. Sadly, I didn't get to see her play since Volleyball is the one sport that I actually understand and enjoy. Hopefully she'll keep it up so I can watch next year.
You will notice that we managed to defeat Alex staying up too late visiting with Bill and Annette (who were kind enough to come over to see us).
Melissa was such a great friend for the weekend. She was so very patient with the girls, even the cranky Jacqueline.
Jacqueline kept us all busy, from making a fuss on the plane ride out not wanting to put her seat belt on to not wanting to get to sleep at night, here she is getting help from Dad while waiting for lunch to arrive.
Of course she also solicited help from Aunt Helene with her adventures. Everyone was very patient with her although she did earn the nickname of "pistol" which she rejected.
As we were packing up to leave last night Ashton was very angry with me wanting to know why I had only planned them to stay such a short time. They were just beginning to have fun! I guess that we can safely say that they are looking forward to going back next year.
