Waterfalls with Family!

A few weeks ago two of my mom’s cousins and her aunt and uncle came to visit! Her cousins brought their beautiful families with them. While The Boys and I only have 3 first cousins, we have plenty of 2nd and once-removed cousins! :)

They’re all from Texas, and the kids had never seen mountains or waterfalls! We, of course, fixed that very quickly by taking them on a nature hike to a small waterfall nearby. Only the H family came with us on this hike. The F family came later in the week.

There was plenty of space for the kids to play! This place is not very popular, so we had it all to ourselves.

The Boys found all sorts of little creatures!

Emma loves to have her picture taken! :)

We hardly ever saw Josh without a hat on.

Sophia was almost always making this face, but we got her to smile a few times. :)

Mollie and Sophia are pretty close in age and had fun playing together, although they are very different! Mollie is a firstborn, and Sophia is the fourth child in her family!

And hey! There we are!

We loved having my mom’s family here because we hardly ever get to see them! On my next post I’ll show you pictures of the other waterfall we went to. Uncle Rick, Aunt Jeri, and the F family came with us on that one too.

Rachel,
You're looking so grown up and exactly like your Momma! (A good thing! :)

May I please take home your blonde, curly-haired cousin with the serious face? So precious!

P.S. Your dad's comment on the last post had me laughing so hard!
