We had a great trip out to the farm (aka Springville, PA) this past week. It was so great to be with family. It's so relaxed and peaceful out there. Wish we could combine the two worlds and two families. Then that'd be a little bit of heaven!
Everyone had their little buddy. Cooper and Jacob.
Elizabeth and Sydney
Caroline and EmmaLeigh
It was nice for them to all have someone to play with and boy did they play! We hardly saw Elizabeth. She said she wanted Suzanne and Randy to be her parents and me and Bri to be her brother and sister. She said they let her older cousins be in charge and we never let her be in charge. We had to do a little explaining on that one. We had a few tantrums when the endless freedom was interrupted.
They did a lot of swimming in the pool at Suz and Randy's. That was a fun break to the seriously hot and muggy weather! Cooper had a near drowning experience, well, a supervised one. Elizabeth was hanging on him and pulling him under water. He had on a life jacket and was in a tube, but he couldn't get up from under her grip. After that time, which was the first time in the pool, he didn't get in the rest of the trip. Well, I think he did the last day we went in the pool. She totally freaked him out. 
Isabelle's idea of swimming was hanging out in the tubes on the sidelines. Made it easier to watch these 2!
Brian thought he'd try jumping off the railing a few times. Luckily no kids attempted this one... yet.
We did a lot of games, playing in the sand and on the playground, hanging out and talking, taking little walks to the next house, swimming, eating together and just being together. We love it there. We're already talking about our next trip.
Cooper loved feeding the horses and just watching them. It was so cute to see his reactions to them.
We can't wait to go back!

We loved having you here too! Glad you can't wait to come back! Looking forward to the next trip!
Man, look at how green it is. I miss that. Wish we had an excuse to go out there.
I am always amazed by the beautiful colors in your pics. What a beautiful family you have. The one of Brian made me laugh.
i think i nee to go there too. well, i need to go anywhere relaxing. i'm excited for this weekend.
Sounds like you had lots of fun! I miss the humidity for the soft skin it gives you. Unlike the desert :)
By the way we did go in the Timp caves...a lot longer inside than it use to be. They have connected a bunch of caves. Can't really tell you what the names were. Pretty cool.
Absolutely loved having you! The only hard part is the goodbyes! I miss my other daughter Liz....but she'd get tired of me pretty quick if I really was her mom!!!
What cute pics of all the cousins~I know they had a great time. Freaked me out about Cooper in the pool Can't breathe thinking about it....Except we need to get him back in the water a few times to get comfortable again.. looking forward to the festivities!
I love the farm! We need to go back again, too.
