Cousins

My mom has a brother and a sister and so does my dad, but I never really knew my cousins.  The ones we saw most often were Greg and Brian, and that was probably 7 or 8 times in the 18 years I lived at home.  I would have loved to know them better.  I'm grateful that my kids see their own cousins more often and list them among their friends.  Nathan came to visit our home and after he left, my little Joseph didn't stop asking where "Nafun" was for three days.  Now their "Wyoming" cousins are here to visit and they are having a marvelous time.  We were able to take the kids to the zoo yesterday.  They laughed at the monkeys, oohed and aahed over snakes and crocodiles, marveled at the polar bear, elephants and rhinos, and just enjoyed themselves.  We topped it off with some water fun at the zoo splash pad.  What a fun day!
