Skippin' School

My cousin invited C, G, and I to go with them to the beach the week before Memorial Day.  C wasn't out of school at that point, but we decided to play hookie...well sort of...I DID have C's teacher and the principal's blessing...so I guess it's not technically "hookie" :)

Anyhow we had a great time! The weather was great and the kids played happily (well, for the most part :).

All of these awesome pictures courtesy of my cousin...isn't she talented?!?

Our baby cousin is perhaps the cutest little fit-thrower I've ever seen :)

I'll end with this picture.  It represents a VERY funny story!  The boys were building these castles (the picture shows 8 - originally there were 10).  They had quite the castle building system worked out.  Meanwhile, G was off building a castle of her own (if I'm not mistaken C had attempted to join her effort but was turned away...that's when he teamed up with Grant).  After a few minutes G got up and went over to where the boys were building.  I saw her over there...it looked like they were getting along great...until she kicked over two of their castles and stomped away with her hands on her hips. The boys just stood there, mouths hanging open speechless....for about 3 seconds.  Then they turned all red and started running at me yelling about this grave injustice.  I'm not gonna lie - this was definitely one of those times that I had to hold back the laughter as I was telling G that she'd have to sit out for a few minutes.
