Second-Ever Cousin Party

Once upon a time (a few years ago), in a land far, far away (Arkansas) there lived 2 little boys (Coleson and Will) who stayed with their Aunt (Amy) for a few days while their parents were away on a trip. As their visit went on, a 2 monsters (Boredom and Homesickness) were creeping up slowly. So to defeat these monsters, their brave Aunt decided to throw a party (the First ever "Cousin Party"). The kids played games, had a treasure hunt, finger painted with shaving cream, and decorated cupcakes. The evil Monsters were destroyed and when the boy's Mommy and Daddy returned, the boys told the tale of the Cousin Party and it lived in legend....

As the years passed the boys grew taller and 2 more siblings were born (Luke and Abby). They lived all over the world (Madagascar, South Africa, Mozambique). The tale of the Cousin Party was told to the younger ones, who wished they had been there.

One day they all, once again, returned to visit their Aunt in a new land (Ohio) She decided to throw ANOTHER COUSIN PARTY!!!


They played a game where they had to fill their buckets with water, race down to the line and pour the water into a milk jug. The first team to fill the jug won!















They had to breath fire - well, not really, but they did see who could keep fireball candy in their mouths the longest.


Looks like it got Too hot for Coleson!














<-- Dan and Will - taking the heat!



TOO hot! See the red ball on the ground?!













There was a great soccer match














They were blindfolded and had to guess the identity of the gross item they were handed:
Was it spaghetti - or INTESTINES? Abby didn't care - she said whatever it was - it tasted good!









It was a GREAT day and we can't wait for the next one!
