My brother has 3 beautiful children and Liam is finally old enough to really enjoy playing with them. It was such a joy to watch him with his cousins. He felt so big!
Here's a little peak into our visit.
Our neighbor gave us this little rocking horse. It was in pretty bad shape so my dad took it home and fixed it up. Now it's good as new, and Liam is happy to have his "horsy" back.
Here's Liam and Grandma playing some piano while waiting for the cousins to arrive.
Each of the grandchildren have a little treasure chest at my mom and dad's place. When the kids come to visit, my parents fill them with goodies. When the kids arrive, the first thing they do is check their chests. This was Liam's first time getting in on the fun. He was pretty pleased with his treasures!
We were so lucky that the 4th of July was such a beautiful day. We actually really enjoyed our time outside.
The boys went fishing on Friday morning. Here they are showing Liam their catch!
Here's Grandma leading an art session.
Liam and "Wibby" spent a lot of time with the bubble machine.
Isn't she the sweetest? Poor thing is the only girl, but she doesn't let it stop her!
There's nothing like cousins!
Speaking of cousins, we also gathered with my cousins and their families for a picnic. It's been far too long since we spent time together. It was so nice to catch up and reconnect. As you can see, we've got some pretty adorable kids between us!
Liam enjoyed shooting some hoops.
He also got to skip his nap which resulted in this look.
Although he did find some energy to climb a tree!
It was such a lovely visit. I am very aware just how precious these times are and so thankful for the moments we get to spend together watching our children laugh and play.
I can't think of a better way to spend a holiday!

Makes me smile!!!!!
