The House

Most of our trip we just enjoyed playing at their lovely home. When we first walked in, Jake said, "Beautiful!" Then, later on the tour of the house when they showed us their awesome upstairs complete with a loft that had an amazing view of the trees, and a theater room, Jake said, "OH. MY. GOSH!" That kind of summarizes all of our thoughts on the house!

We spent tons of time in their pool, perfecting somersault dives, doing handstands in the water, floating on the big floats and playing hard!

At the edge of their backyard were tons of trees. They had cleared a path...

Down to a fire pit in the middle of the woods!

We enjoyed s'mores!

The theater room was another oft enjoyed space in the house!

The kids also loved that their big cousins were so generous in sharing their favorite toys from when they were little: Ali loved Bethany's American Girl dolls:

 They all were amazed by Will's lego collection:

And Jake loved Josh's Thomas the Trains!
