The Cousins

Off and on throughout this summer, we've had the chance to hang our with our nieces on the weekends.  I keep meaning to take some pictures of our adventures with them, but we end up spending most of our time out having fun, so I wind up with good memories, but not too much proof.

So far, we've visited the science museum, made homemade pizzas, watched Chicken Run (twice, back-to-back), gone to the beach, and visited a friend's farm in Rhode Island.  They get along great with Baby H, and she looks forward to their coming.  Usually around Thursday, we start hearing questions about when they will arrive and what we'll be doing that weekend.  When they get here, she goes bonkers until they leave, and it takes her most of Monday to recover.

The trip to the farm is probably one of our favorite activities - there are wonderful wagon rides put on by an old family friend and delicious fresh produce to take home and enjoy for the rest of the week.  The horses are named Bob and Bill and are big Percherons.  This last time, we were regaled by stories of what happens when one of them steps on your head.  Apparently, it results in a concussion, a bloody eye, but no lasting damage, in case you were wondering.

It's only a few more weekends until they head back home for the fall.  We're going to miss you guys!
