Every summer (I think except 2010) since I met Yosh his sister, Missy, her husband, Chris, and kids Bailey and Peyton come out from New York for a visit. They live in upstate New York…and crave the California sunshine, Mexican food and Slurpee's year round!! Every summer we look forward to their visit…especially now since WE have our own kids…I seriously LOVE watching my niece and nephew love my kids. Nothing like some cousin love!
The kids are growing up…and real memories are being made. You know what I mean…not just the memories for the adults, but Peyton and Bailey will now start remembering these river trips for the rest of their lives (unless they have a memory like their Aunt Erin…then they are screwed!)
We played, ate, chatted…and Ella made Mommy’s relaxation time difficult. BUT that’s ok. She really is a great baby out on the boat…its just my days of lounging are gone…for another few years anyway.
Owen is the best child at the river..he plays and plays…never asking for anything but the odd juicebox or to help find a certain gun or sandtoy. I’m blessed with him. He’s more than amazing!
Watching Owen play and adore his cousins was a beautiful site to see…this trip did the fam good!
And it couldn’t be the annual family river trip without the annual grandparents/grandkids picture…
Years past…
And while I’m cruising down memory lane…let me show you some comparison pics…that seriously make me so happy…
The VanSoest Picture with my babies…
Hotel After Bath Pic… ((ps. notice my camera capabilities have kinda improved along the way as well…Thank Goodness!!))
Love seeing our family grow together…Fun Times…and cheers to many many more to come!
