One Scrapper's Existence: More Crittenden family time

{This is the 2nd big catch-up post of the day.}

6/3: We spent several hours today at the kid's museum with all of the family that is still in town or lives here (Steph and her kids, Teresa and her kids, Laura and her kids, Grandma, and Jason):

They got to pet a bearded dragon:

The twins had a blast playing with cousins:

Some family photos on the way out:

6/4: Finally got the twins' dance recital portraits. They didn't cooperate as well as they usually do for photos. *sigh* But they still look cute! :D

Avery asked if we could go and pick some of our white roses. She was really excited to help me put this together:

6/5: "The twins got a little surprise this morning when their cousins showed up to play (so Kiki Tassin Tolman could get a little rest after having surgery yesterday). They played downstairs for a while, then played outside for a bit, and are now watching "Mr. Peabody and Sherman". We are also going to Grandma's house this afternoon to see cousins on the other side of the family before they leave to go back home to AZ and GA. They love being with all of their cousins!"

Fun at Grandma's--played with family and Laura's new kitten (the girls LOVE that cute little kitty), played in the sandbox, fed/petted cows, swung on the rope swing (even I got a turn but, nope, not posting a pic, ha ha!), enjoyed the beautiful Hoytsville scenery, and took a ride up Spring Canyon in Grandpa's Can-Am.

Avery, Jason, and Snickerdoodles:

Beautiful Hoytsville:

Spring Canyon in Grandpa's Can-Am:

How I found Makenna on the floor when I went in their room at 1am to do my last check on them before getting in bed:

6/13: We went to Jared's cousin, Kaelee's, wedding luncheon, then went shopping at Ross's and Target, and looked at all the animals in PetSmart, with Grandma, Jason, Katie, and Collen, then we went to the wedding reception that evening and had fun dancing and seeing family, including Laura and her kids.
