Cousins

We went to visit Auntie Shannon, Uncle Nate and cousins Abby and Leah this week.  Daddy was running in the Warrior Dash on Saturday morning, so we thought we'd take advantage and leave town.  Daddy also got in a round of golf, so I don't think he was too lonely without us. 

We didn't have a lot planned for the few days we were there.  Abby was busy working (almost 10 hours a day!) and going to driver's ed.  So, she only had Friday afternoon to spend with us.  Punky went with Auntie and Leah to pick her up from work (Buddy napped while I worked on the computer).  Since Abby only had a few hours with us, we decided Abby could pick what we all did.  When Lauren saw Abby, she said, "Abby, you get to choose!  You get to choose swimming first!"  So... we all went swimming! 



For the last year, we have heard how excited Leah was to bring Punky on the Lazy River. 
Now, I am not so sure who was more excited Auntie or Leah. 



Buddy loved crawling around in the shallow end.
He was very mad when we wouldn't let him crawl up the stairs of the waterslide.



Later that night, an ice cream truck drove down the street!

Saturday morning, Leah was supposed to compete in a kids triathalon.  We showed up for the 8:30 start time, only to find it had been postponed because of the rain/lightning/thunder.  We waited around for a few hours, and they kept pushing the start time back.  We finally left at 11 because the rain had not stopped.  It would've been fun to see Leah complete the triathalon... maybe next year!

Saturday morning Punky woke up with a fever.  She didn't eat much all day.  Sunday, she spent the day in her jammies on the couch.  We can not get her to take any medicine!  We've tried cherry, grape, liquid and chewable.  She goes hysterical every time we mention medicine to her.  I hope the fever breaks soon!  We have big plans for this week too.
