Hanging with Rachael and Laura

My cousin Rachael and her kids are in town for the week. Yesterday we hung out with them in the OC and spent 2 hours at Del Taco while the kids ran around the play structure. It was dreamy, sitting outside in the shade, in 75 degree weather.

Today she and Laura came up here for (yet another) visit to the Noah's Ark exhibit. Though the trip had it's moments, the photos seem to capture everyone at their happy times.

Laura and Ava:
Rachael, Savanna, and Carter:
my kiddos:
I refrained from taking indoor photos (since the lighting outside is so perfect). And the kids probably had more fun climbing out here than in the exhibit.
Ava:
Lucy jumping around:
Owen sitting around:
and laughing.
Savanna:
Carter:
Laura and Ava:and a token picture of the photographer:
We finished the outing with the "rainbow" mister outside. For some reason, the girls were scared to walk through it and stood here on the edge:
So I walked them through, part-way, till Lucy completely freaked out about getting so wet:
But Carter loved it!
Fun having you guys in town! See you again soon!
