First weekend of summer....Ben's birthday party! Happy Birthday Ben!!
The two oldest cousins just might be the two silliest cousins!
The kids on the last day of Grady's nature camp. This is his last year for Wonder Woods. Next summer he'll be with Taylor at the older kids' nature camp. I somehow missed getting a picture of Taylor at her camp this year. :(
Taylor and Grady in an intense corn hole game against Colson and Ellie at the Youngblood family reunion in Gilmer. Lots of fun!
Grady being silly...as usual.
Taylor really liked playing badmitton. She challenged just about everyone there. Here she's playing with Aunt Patty.
Next challenger...Ellie!
Tyson and Grady playing "ping pong" in Uncle Rex's barn.
Taylor and Bailey at the Word family reunion in Bandera. Two of the cutest hockey players!
An action shot.
Bailey, Taylor and Grady balancing on the famous alligator.
Every kid is obsessed with this alligator at the family reunion.
Four cute cousins hanging out in the bunkhouse.
Pretty Taylor at Uncle Ryan's and Aunt Haley's "lake house."
Woo hoo! Griffin is one!! The only cousin that really dove into his cake!!
Poor Griffin looks like he was in some horrific accident!! He really liked his cake with red icing!
Three goofballs. Explains why the kids act the way that they do!
July 4th fun! The kids really wanted to participate so we started them off slow. Smoke bombs led to everything else that night....I just didn't get pictures of them lighting anything else!
Tyson is the biggest kid of all when it comes to fireworks!
A little team work.
The crew.
Sometimes there are no words...
One of Taylor's favorite things to do is to draw in the air with sparklers.
We even got to sneak in a weekend to go to Poppa's house. Since there isn't a pool the kids can play in, they had to swim in feed buckets.
Jack and Ben got to spend some time with the kids while they spent the week at Nana's house. Here they're hanging out at the Kemah Boardwalk.
Nana's trying to show the kids how to feed the stingrays.
Taylor really enjoyed feeding the stingrays.
Grady was more comfortable taking a picture by them.
Nana and Doodah and their crew.
We made a quick trip to Galveston with Nana. Taylor had to get in some beach time while we were there.
Grady showing a cool find that he found.
Even Grady enjoyed playing in the water.
We spent the day at Pleasure Pier. We all had a blast. This is their first time on bumper cars.
Ready to go!
Ahhh! A squid ate Taylor!
Of course, the squid had to eat Grady, too!
Eating at the Rainforest Cafe was probably the kids' favorite part of our trip to Galveston.
Taylor had to order the largest dessert they had. It was pretty cool...it even had a sparkler in it when they brought it out.
While we weren't traveling around, we spent the rest of our summer swimming at the SFA pool.
