Our Spring Break getaway.

We headed down to Houston for our 2nd annual spring break trip with our cousins!

It all started here...and obviously Taylor had a blast!

Maddie just hung around and watched the boys on the 4 wheelers...she was too afraid to get on and take a ride.

She enjoyed visiting with her cousin "Lollie"

Uncle Jared gave all the girls a little lesson on fishing.

Maddie got some one-on-one time too!

Taylor loved playing in the fire...it was making me so nervous! I kept having visions of someone getting burned with all the sticks those boys were playing with, I know I'm a nervous Mom!

I just loved this picture of Maddie laughing with her cousins.

Then the bonfire was lit...you can only imagine how high my blood pressure shot up when I saw Taylor with his big stick playing in the fire!

Maddie always has so much fun with her 5 cousins...it's a little girl's heaven going to my brother's house! I caught them playing "make-up" here...
Photobucket
She even got some hoop time!

...and some storytime! (if you know Maddie at all she loves books and is always "reading" them to whoever will listen)
Photobucket
We got rain one day, so the kids ended up doing a lot of this...(my brother has an awesome set up with the video games out in the workshop...genious!)

and this...

Thankfully the sun came out again and the games were on again!

We also took the kids swimming and Jennifer and I got some retail therapy with and WITHOUT children! We can't wait to see our cousins again this summer!
