Virginia Cousins Visit - Part 1

As I have already mentioned, my aunt and cousins from Virginia are down for their Texas summer trip. I have a TON of pictures to share from what all we have done so far.


My only two girl cousins.....Brooke and Riley.





My two youngest boy cousins......Hayden and Matt.



Grandad and his great-grandson.





So, we made our way to Brenham to visit all the BlueBell fun : ) We started by doing the tour and wearing the hats........(Mia, Wyatt and Hayden)



The tour ended with a nice little sample of some yummy ice cream (Matt and Hayden)


Wyatt ate a little.......


Then he stared at the camera!

Zach gave Hayden a piggy-back-ride.......Hayden loves his older cousin!

We then had a picnic lunch under some large Oak trees in the front of BlueBell - at least I think they were Oak Trees. Whatever they were they made for some excellent shade and a nice place to hang out and let the kids be kids.

Wyatt & Heather met for the first time and chilled a bit in the shade. Heather is 10 days younger than Wyatt - she belongs to one of my aunt's best friends.

After lunch we headed over to the BlueBall Aquatic Center to cool off and enjoy some pool time.

One of the main attractions at this particular pool is the challenge of walking across the "bullets" (aka Popsicles). All the kids gave it a try - most made it all the way across without falling. Watching them was EXTREMELY entertaining!

Zach making his way across.

Matt's turn - he made it look way too easy - this little dude just zipped across it like it was a piece of cake.

Hayden's turn......

Wyatt and Papa Sam enjoyed the pool as well. Here he is picking up some older women! Pretty sure these little ladies asked Papa Sam if they could "pet" Wyatt. Interesting pick up line!

Gram and her great-grandson

We had a great time in Brenham! After swimming for a good bit of time we loaded up and headed on to College Station. Wyatt experienced the "exer-saucer" for the first time and seemed to enjoy it.

That evening we just hung out at my parents house and played outside with all the cousins. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous......

Lots of fun with the family - stayed tuned for part 2 - Wyatt's 1st campus tour - WHOOP!
