Up North

We got to take a wonderful trip up north to spend some time with my dad’s side of the family.  It was beautiful, both in having nice scenery and in having great quality time with family.K. was particularly interested in her great aunts’ knitting (or “needling,” as she called it) and I can’t wait until she is old enough to learn some stitches!The weather was gorgeous (especially as I belatedly type this, when we’ve had weeks of weather being in the upper 90s).There was a great beach (very cold water, but fun if you are not swimming).  The kiddos spent a lot of time exploring.

We were also able to meet up with our cousins (my dad’s first cousin’s kids, who are my second cousins and whose kids are my daughters’ third cousins.  Confused?  We just call them cousins).  The girls were elated to have some other kids to play with, and their cousins were so sweet with them!The whole gang.K. and her cousin K., who are about 7 months apart in age.  Oh, how I wish we lived closer and could spend more time together!

The family!  Great-grandma is in the middle, surrounded by her family.  Such a fantastic time!
