Cousin Time

We really love having cousins nearby. Our kids ask all the time when we can go play with them. It's too bad that we moved an hour away as soon as they moved up here. But we still find ways to hang out often.

5/9: We had to go down to Eagle River for a dr. appt. for Tyler. He was having bloody noses more than once a day, and it was starting to worry me. He is always one to get a bloody nose when it's too dry. Whenever we go back to Utah/Idaho, he gets one, or on an airplane sometimes, often during the winter, etc. But even though he sleeps with a humidifier every night and we were putting vaseline in his nose, it was getting really bad. So I took him in and she confirmed that it was super red and swollen in there, but didn't think we needed to have any vessels cauterized or anything. I think it's just part of his horrible allergies he all of the sudden has. Right now we have like the highest pollen count in the world, so it makes for bad reactions. Anyway...while we were in Eagle River, Shalee and her kids met us there after the appt. and we had fun at the nature center. We went on a little hike and just let them all play for a couple hours. Not quite as green as it's going to be, but still beautiful. Tyler is always on the lookout for wildlife and keeps a record. But all we saw was evidence of termites, and 3 bald eagles. :)

And they were out here on Saturday the 10th. We went and had a little adventure.

Over a dozen pair of shoes up in this tree. Not sure why

They really thought they could push that boulder into the water :)
