Saturday afternoon once the egg hunt was over and the kids had gone through all of their eggs Nana offered to go in the pool with the kids. The only problem was that one other adult had to go in with her in order to keep up with that many kids. The only person brave enough to face the cold water was Sarah (I think she and Nana deserve a medal). :) The water was in the 70s which doesn't sound too bad but it was cold!! The kids didn't seem to mind, though... they jumped right in. And even though all of their teeth were chattering by the end we still had to convince them it was time to get out!!

2. A few of the kids for a quick picture

The rest of the cousins also had a great time swimming. Hopefully next time we'll have lots of opportunities for them to get in and the water won't be quite as cold!!

9. Eli decided that for the moment it was better to just water the plants (dead plants at that!!) ha ha
One afternoon in the pool just wasn't enough... I know once Matt, Sarah and the kids live in the states again it will probably be a regular thing to visit during the summer when we can all have lots and lots of pool and beach time!! In June, when Becky and her family are visiting I don't think we'll be able to get everyone inside! It will be all we can do to get them out of their suits to sleep!! Can't wait!! Here are a few of my favorites from all this time we had together!
1. Aunt Sarah reading about our Resurrection Eggs one night before bed
2. Micah with his beat up face.. he is a lot like Jacob - they don't go for long without some kind of boo-boo on their faces!! :)
3. One of my absolute favorites of Eli
4. Sarah with her boy (and her boy with his "Bubby") :)
5. Goomba getting some special loves from Micah
