CA to Palm Beach

We spent a fun filled week in Kansas in April.  We enjoyed being able to spend time with Steve's sister on the Rutledge side and my brother on the Mulliner side.  We loved seeing Suzi's property as it was changing from winter to spring.  

These two cute girls got to see each other after a long absence.  We LOVED seeing Darwin's big smile that lit up everything and everyone around her.  

We had such an amazing time together.  

The cousins got right down to business of having fun.  They made a fort, played in mud, played games, swung from the tree, and hiked.  

The cousins took a mud bath.  

 Enjoyed a beautiful hike.  

Love the Rutledge Family.  

We got to see Darwin's dance performance.  It was so fun to see her perform and share her amazing talent.  We especially LOVED her BIG beautiful smile.  

A brother and sister got time to catch up and enjoy going on a hike.

Steve and Suzi enjoyed some wonderful time together.  

My two Kansas sisters-n-love.  

We hiked to the lake.  

Had a rock skipping contest.

Suzi wins for best stone skipping form.  

So, this cousin reunion took place in April.  We get a two for one when visitng Kansas.  We get to visit both sides of our family.  

I somehow missed posting these cute pics.  

Cutest boys ever.  Can't get over that we have a Sam with blond hair.  

Grateful to see my younger brother.  Hard to believe that he is old enough to drive a mini-van.

Loved spending time with Sam's sweet family and my sis-in-love.  

My Sis-in-law is so creative and efficient.  My children really thought this was a great idea and we should adopt the planning board and the actual menu.  

A Saturday morning soccer game.

or wrestling match.  

I am sorry to say that I missed the picture of the spanking machine.

Legoland

Yes, I was out to win.  

Steven helped boys to make cars and race them.  Steven could happily build legos for weeks on end.  

My two favorite Kansas sisters.  

Trip to the Wizard of Oz.

Aaaah, these two cousins had a great time together.  

This sweet cousin was waiting on the curb for us to arrive.  So precious.  

Stevie made the Lego Movie City.  

Such a big hit among all the cousins.

They were all so excited to show Dad when he got home from work.  

Georgie was a favorite.

 First Kansas BBQ.

These two cute Tigers earned their Tiger Badge.
