Haircut, Holland Fest, kids

ahh the braids.  I have more Holland Fest pictures to add later, I believe they are all on a different computer.  Just found these few of the set up

Ahh yes, the haircut for Evie into a "bob".  Thanks Karolyn, we forgot to tip you, we'll send something.  :)

Helena liked Auntie Laura alot this trip

Mealtime was always fun... line 'em all up

And the finished result of the haircut, love it, fits her personality so well!!

there's Violet!  

More family time

Almost makes Evelyn look innocent.... ;)

I know there are a bunch but its like a flip book of hilarious faces she was making.  Thought she was so cool on the edge of the sandbox

great toys from the Good As New

 this little beastie baby grew 3 teeth while we were there... and an attitude as well

not walking yet--Gianna is the first walker of the 3 babies!  Guessing a few more weeks, although at home she already seems a bit more interested again... so who knows

 

Great visit from cousins from Washington state!  So good to be able to meet the newest one, Patience.  

Patience, Helena and Gianna

Maybe this is where the obsession started with "Tarotin"... Evelyn latched onto Karolyn this trip for whatever reason and could be enticed into doing whatever if Tarotin was involved... 

Walcott and Williams big girls.  Enjoying the beautiful weather that we had the entire trip.  

Diana loved having boots on... often she wore nothing but the boots if it was an option. :)

Wisconsin 2014: Summary and first set of pics

 

something has their attention... oh right, cookies for all!  

 

Great trip had by all.  Kids really loved being reunited with their cousins and spent hundreds of hours together; playing, swimming, fighting, wrestling, etc.  We had lots and lots of outings, and lots of down time to just spend time together, it was a good balance we thought.  So here we go with lots of pictures..   

First night together, let the chaos begin. 

These 2 kids played so well together this trip.  Both quieter personalities... this was B.J.'s turn to spend the afternoon at Oma's.  

On the other hand, these 2....  haha just kidding.  Tessa, Diana and Evie had good days and bad days.  On the good ones it was so much fun to watch.. 

Helena enjoying a snooze and snuggle with Opa.   They had quite the bond by the time we left!  

Tricycle time at the farm

Go Helena go!  

 the handle thing was super cool

Wow.  This picture just makes me laugh out loud.
