Cousins!!!

Emma enjoyed a visit and some quality time with her cousins from another state (oh and her Aunt and Uncle too.)  Her oldest cousin (Big Cousin) is ten years old and the other one (Lil Cousin) is five years old.  Emma warmed up to them immediately.  She was thoroughly entertained by her Lil Cousin's energy and ability to jump, run, play, etc.  And she actively sought the comfort of her Big Cousin's arms for cuddles.  During her visit with her cousins, she enjoyed the following activities:

• Being held and comforted by Big Cousin;
• Being pulled in her wagon by Big and Lil Cousin;
• BBQing with family;
• Playing with and pulling apart her cousins' Lego creations;
• Exploring a farm and farm animals at a family gathering on the Fourth of July;
• Playing with second and third cousins at a family gathering;
• Playing with her cousins and her toys;
• Watching her Lil Cousin play soccer;
• Trying to blow bubbles;
• Being held and loved by various family members;
• Feasting on mexican food (or rather gaucamole); and
• Watching her Aunt crotchet her a beautiful blanket.

It was a fun visit and we all look forward to their visit next year.  Here are some photos of Emma enjoying her time with her cousins (at their family's request no photos of the cousins are shown):

Happy Fourth of July!

Emma isn't too thrilled about the cow in the background.

Also here are a couple of videos of Emma being tickled and nursing her Aunt's ice cream!
