Cousin fun

Scott, Carolyn, and the kids are all going out of town tomorrow for a week, so we decided to have family dinner at mom and dad's house before they left.

Dad gets the "Poppy of the Year" Award for blowing up the wading pool that has been sitting on the spider covered floor of the garage for a year.

The kids took turns on the swings while they waited for the pool.

And Carl played with Poppy's phone, while Sven looked on. Poppy is amazing. That pool was not an easy task!... and it was filthy.

When the pool was finally blown up, we created an impromptu waterslide. Oakley enjoyed it as much as the kids did and EVERYONE played on it.

It was a lovely evening.

After everyone had left, we went through some of my old stuff and found my old Girl Scout vest. Maddy has been asking about it since we signed her up to be a Girl Scout. So here's a picture of her in my vest. She looks exhausted after playing all afternoon.

You know, I remember that vest being bigger. :)
