Cousins Rock!

We had a lovely visit recently from our cousins. My brother and his family came to DC, and I am so glad that they did. I learned that my sibling and I share a passion for an organized refrigerator and a talent for puns. Oh, and I can almost beat him at ping pong when he plays left handed. These are things I never knew! We haven't lived close to them for something like 14 years. I am so glad we got to hang out long enough to figure this important stuff out.

How I wish our kids could have grown up with these cousins close by. Here's what we learned while having them around....

Cousins make the line at the amusement park go faster....



(Big Boy loves to pose, must be all that modeling experience.)

The DC memorials are more inspiring...


I compared this man (my nearly perfect brother)

To this legendary man...


The rides at Hershey Park are much more amusing....


And I do believe these babies were a bit more shiny.

Big Girl was spoiled rotten by her older boy/man cousins,
who hardly let this princess walk.

Talk about a lucky duck!

I agree that Cousins Rock. There is just something special about cousins. It looks like you had so much fun. I am so glad they were able to go see you.

As a cousin who always lived far away from her other cousins (especially the very few girls), and as a daughter who's watched her mom and her cousins' very close relationship continue over decades, I agree. Cousins are like extra siblings who don't take up all the space in your house or wreck your stuff.
