Abilene Trip

At the end of July, we visited Misha and Gin-Gin in Abilene while Lela, Mavry, and Eliel were there. John and Marla came, as well as Daniel, Jessica, and their daughter Josephine. This was our first time to meet Josephine! She is beautiful and joyful.

Wesley started a spy hideout in the shed while we
were there. He was trying to drum up some support.

She just happily continued on her way.

We planned to go swimming one day, but the pool was closed. We ended up going to the splash pad with all the kids. Very hot, but so fun to watch them enjoy each other.

Wesley felt personally responsible for Eliel

Love this picture of Josephine!

Wesley really wanted to make these shark hats
he saw in a magazine. We made some for
Mavry and Eliel, too.

It was wonderful getting this crew of kiddos together. I hope we have more times like this soon with ALL of the cousins, young and old!
