Cousins are a nice distraction

Tyler, Spencer, Rachel, Samuel, Dallin
Brennan, Elisa, Benjamin

We just got back from San Diego. But before I get into that, I want to talk about last week. Now normally I am a stressed mess before a big trip. I don't know what my problem is, but there are always a million details to think about, with daily assignments to do. I hate details and assignments. But last week my sister Maryruth and her family came to visit from Idaho, and I barely had time to think about our trip.

We went to the beach, the pool and the children's museum while they were here. Here's Samuel, their oldest. What a happy, social little boy. Benjamin, almost 4, didn't want me to take his picture, so I didn't get any of just him.
Elisa, who just turned 2, and Brennan became instant friends. It was so cute to watch them play together.

Two-month old Rachel - the one who was just 2 weeks old at the family reunion. She sure made us all excited for our little baby to get here.

Kristen and Ellen and their kids joined us on all our outings. It was really fun having 4 of the 6 sisters together. We were also super grateful to my computer saavy brother-in-law Dominic, who added RAM to our computer and did all kinds of things to clean it up and make it faster. He also hooked up our wireless internet router, which someone had given us but we'd never been able to make work. We need him to come here more often.

Cousins are just so much fun.

Children's museum? Where's that--did they actually finish the one in SLO or did Paso build their own? Notice I'm not even mentioning how jealous I am. I'm glad you all had fun :)
