Yakima Fun

This past weekend, we went to Yakima for a mini family reunion.  My mom and I traveled with the kids on Thursday.  On Friday, my sister and my brother, sister-in-law and their two girls joined us.  It was so much fun to all be together!  We ran around Grandpa and Grandma's house being loud, went swimming in a friend's pool, ate way too much and let the cousins build their relationship.  What a great weekend it was!
 
Laurel loves Grandpa!  Her favorite place to be is in his lap.

It was really hot in Yakima....100 degrees.  Two nights we got to see an awesome lightning storm.  But before 10am and after the sun went down, it was fun to play outside!

Too much excitement for little buddy.

Erika with her newest cousin, Eleanor (10 weeks).  Poor Aunt Lisa...Erika followed her wherever she went asking if she could hold Ellie.  Erika loves babies!  And Ellie is just about the sweetest baby ever!  She is all smiles when you talk to her and really doesn't do a whole lot of fussing.  Her big sister, Molly, is pretty busy so Jacob and Lisa are very lucky to have such a relaxed baby!

On Friday evening, we spent the day at the pool. 

Molly and Levi.

Laurel gave Uncle Jacob some spa treatments.

 
The whale floaty was a hit!




Erika spent the majority of her time jumping in the deep end and perfecting her swimming skills.

Once again, Erika asked to hold Ellie.  Ellie wasn't sure about the cold water...she didn't last too long before she spent some time with her Auntie April on the pool deck!
