Cousin weekend

What is summer for if not (more) road trips?

This time, to see long-lost cousins who haven’t all been together since before covid.

(Not pictured: Isaac, who was recovering from a short-lived but intense bug that had him puking in Aunt Kelley’s bushes.)

It was a lovely weekend spent playing games, running around the park, and swimming in the river.

Of course the opportunity was taken (once Isaac recovered) to update the Nana-Grandpa/grandchildren picture for the mantel.  

If only we could get certain people off their phones.

Kids these days.

After much undignified trial and error, since I couldn’t find my remote shutter button; in which I tried unsuccessfully to join the group in the two-second shutter delay; leading to pictures of me completely missing, wincing in pain because I sat on the cement planter, or with my butt still in the air facing front; we finally got a reasonable family shot.

…after which the kids really needed to blow off some steam on the tire swing.

We lingered until the fireflies [and mosquitos] came out and headed home the next day.
