a day with cousins
Saturday was a beautiful, sunny day! The kids and I went to spend the day with Liv and her kiddos. We went to two different parks and just let the kids play and play and play! It was so much fun! Here are some pictures I snapped of the cousins playing together.

So, when us sisters (Liv and I) are together when we have Coronado Heights cookout we get giggly. We think everything's funny and just have a goofy time of it! Things could go disappointingly wrong and we'd still find humor in it if we are on Coronado Heights and cooking out. We always make Mom and Dad laugh too and usually we can be found around the sandstone picnic table doubled over in silent laughter over something that was said that probably wasn't even that funny!
Liv is a master cookout preparer (is that a word?) She is also the mama of an almost 1 1/2 year old girl. So, when Liv went out to her car to get her stroller for Chloe and also to bring in the supplies she brought to the cookout that night I couldn't help but roll with laughter when she rolled in with this:
99% of that is all food for the cookout, I kid you not! And it all came in very handy and appreciated! Let me just say, we know how to have a cookout!
Another example of our silliness is the fact that I found the stick I'm holding funny. I thought it looked like a funny cane and it had a double use as a stoker for the fire. Liv took my picture by the fire.
When I say that we know how to have a cookout I mean it! My dad configured this 6 count weinie roaster to be longer for fires that may be, shall we say, a bit large. It's long, let me tell you! And, it's for 6 hotdogs at once! I'm just saying! We get the job done around here!
Here, I caught some of the silent laughter around the picnic table I was talking about.
They contained themselves for a minute so I could take a more posed picture.
We also know how to make a mean S'more! Yum! Graham cracker and Hershey bar are prepared beforehand and as soon as the marshmallow is good and toasted (sometimes burnt which, in my opinion is so much tastier) we slide it onto the waiting chocolate with the graham cracker. Delicious!

the cousins and the sis
Yesterday, we went into McPherson to see Liv and the kids. We hadn't seen them since Easter so it was nice to see them. We visited a couple thrift stores which the kids did really well in! We found a few treasures too! After thrifting we went through McDonald's drive-thru and took it to Liv's house. I think that was a fantastic idea too. No worrying about public restrooms, germy tables, busy, long lines and it was laid back! As soon as the kids finished eating they went to play with the toys and my mom, Liv and I were able to chat. It was a nice visit.
