Fun with cousins

Scott's mom was visiting Kelli and family to see their new home, so we went over to visit for the day.  Karsten was so excited to see everyone...especially Trent and Taylor.  The boys all had fun playing together - Trent even helped had Liam help him tickle Karsten.

We went to the marina to get ice to make homemade ice cream and to see the fish.  I told Karsten if he didn't want to hold my hand in the parking lot, he had to hold Papa's hand.  Then Taylor said 'I'll hold his hand too' and off they all went.


The number of fish hanging around was crazy - and when we started dropping food, they swarmed.  I had never seen that many fish jumping around.  They were climbing (or flipping) on top of each other to get to the food.


Look at all of those open mouths!


See all of the fish in the water?


Headed out to see more of the lake.


'The Boys'


Liam got lots of practice pulling up and standing next to Kelli's coffee table.


Liam had another first today - he climbed on top of that first stair.  When we put him back down on the ground, he looked at us like 'what the heck, I was going up the stairs'.  


Did I mention that Karsten had fun playing with Trent and Taylor?  :)  He had some cool moves and sound effects with this sword.


This was their 'tough' pose.


Karsten also learned to do a summersault.


Kelli's house is set up perfectly for a game of hide and seek or chase.




Liam would giggle each time he spotted Linda.


It was a great day - although we had two very tired boys on the way home, neither slept. We had a sing along with a kids music cd - good thing there's not a recording of that!
