One of the things that breaks my heart about living so far from family is that my boys don't get a chance to really get to know their cousins, except for 3-4 brief trips home a year. This year though, all 6 of the oldest kiddos really got a chance to play and get to know each other and it was so fun to watch!!
Kiddos playing freeze tag with Uncle Chris and Uncle Tim (who rocks with kids!) Zakkai had no idea what he was doing and just kept running the whole time! haha

Aunt Danielle (my sister) gathering all of the kiddos to present special treats she brought all the way from Colorado just for them: Candy Apples! I think she won big points with that one:)
Danielle and I also got a chance to meet our newest nephew, Jacob last week! AdORAble!!!!
He has dimples when he smiles!!
Cutie in a Bumbo:) He was the result of many play "fights" between two of my aunts, who have an ongoing baby war!We took all 7 kids to get pictures taken before we left and the pictures turned out SO cute! Add that to my list of photos to scan....
I guess I'd better figure out how to use our scanner instead of bugging Ben all the time:)

I wish I could have seen the new cousins playing together. I probably could have just sat for hours watching those cute kiddos.
Oh Heidi such memories. Did't we have fun. Grandpa would drag the chairs and picnic benches down to the street the night before and as you said that morning they drove by saying wake up everyone. Then the whole family showed up and we would march down to our spots to watch the parade. Then as you said the picnic and fire works. Oh how fun. Okay next year I'm going to the parade. We need to make more memories also maybe Niermans will come next year. We can only pray so.
