Cousin Party

My oldest brother and his family came to visit. Really my brother had a gaming convention here in So Cal. so the family came too and made a vacation out of it. We had so much fun spending time with them. Karley made friends with Derek and Blake and still talks about them giving her money (a nickel.) While they were here we went to the Long Beach Aquarium. Karley particulary liked these fish because see could see Dori from the Disney move Nemo swimming in the tank. She couldn't seem to find a Nemo in the tank and decided he must be hiding.

At the Aquarium there is a bird house. Derek was a great bird feeder,even when this bird finished all the nector and went after Derek's finger.

Look at all these cute kids. I used to think Karley would get lonely with out a sibling her age. Then I added up all the cousins she had that are within two years of her and she has 9 kids to play with and most live within 30 minutes of our house. Now I don't feel so bad. Somehow cousins seen to be better then sibling. Yes Karley is sporting the no shirt thing. She thought she was one of the boys. So when she went diving into the water and got all wet she wanted her shirt off too just like the boys. We went to the tide pools at the beach but I don't think the kids even made it over to the tide pools they all got stopped at this stream that lead to the ocen and never ventured any further.

There are most of the cousins that went to the beach with us. Jacob wouldn't be in the picture (he was mad) and Brandon and Katelyn aren't in it either.

From Lt to Rt

Mat (jumping) Drew, Karley(look's like she still thinks she is one of the boys) Caden, Derek and Blake.

All the boys decided to build a damb in the stream. Even Colby got in on the building.

I just love this pictures of Karley and Brandon, but it doesn't do justice to how cute it was to see these kids playing together.
