The Cousins are Here - Days Three thru Ten



We have been busy! Day three of the visit consisted of hanging out at the Moscow pool. Later in the afternoon India became ill and was out for the rest of the day.

Day Four - Annabelle had a wellness check-up and then grocery shopping which took a grand total of four hours! When we arrived home India was finishing up her recovery. Nate set up the little pool in the back yard and the girls played for several hours outside while I packed up for our McCall adventure.

Day Five - We hit the road for McCall shortly after the paper route was finished. We ate dinner in Riggins. The girls were so tickled to catch a glimpse of some elephants as the circus was in Riggins. We arrived in McCall at 9:30 pm to which the girls all ran down to the beach and soaked their clothes.


Day Six - We all hung out at the beach all day. The girls got along fabulously with all of the children. We played in the water, at the neighbors water trampoline, water skied, tubed, kayaked, and ate a lot of great food.


Day Seven - A lot of the same. Butterscotch passed out next to this Corona bottle. She'd dig a hole in the sand and then fall asleep.


Nate, Ray and Chris play some beach music while Sydney sits and listens.

Day Eight - Time to pack up and head home. Awwww! It was so beautiful and relaxing. Yes, with 10 adults and 15 children running a muck it was still relaxing it could've been the full bar that was ever present.

Day Nine - While the girls are still sawing logs from all the excitement and activity over the weekend our day will consist of going to Ferdinand's Creamery in Pullman and watching 'Journey to the Center of the Earth'. Mom and Carrie will be arriving later this evening and then India and Sydney will be heading back to Libby sometime tomorrow.

We sure have enjoyed their company and hope we can make this summer week visit an annual event. They're special girls and we are privileged to be related to them. Great job, Kurt and Carrie!
