A visit from (Most) of the Merrell Cousins!

In July, we were blessed with visits from both sets of cousins from the Merrell side of the family, leading to a lot of chaos, and even more fun!  First Melissa and Drew came up for a 4th of July celebration. 

Ships Ahoy!  Everyone needs a cardboard boat.

Drew, Eleanor, and Alice showing off their handy work.

A little fun at the Denver flea market

 Fourth of July Parade in Frederick, CO

Homemade snow cones are a summertime staple!

And then the Reynolds joined us too!  Four more kids=four times the fun, right?!

Here are Henry, Eleanor, Alex and Alice.  Alice was quick to decide that if she couldn't marry her dad, she was going to marry Alex😏 

A little game of Chutes and Ladders between Ben and Eleanor.

And the Reynolds braved the neighborhood park with ALL 7 kiddos!

A fun game night with all of the adults was a great way to end a great visit!

And Summer 2016 Arrived...

 School was out, we sure were glad.  Three months of fun, to be had!  Kindergarten and Early Preschool are done!

It's finally warm enough in Colorado to enjoy some frozen grapes!

 

We made a quick trip back to Texas in June.  Unfortunately, I took very few pictures while we were there.  The girls had a great time riding there scooters in Nana and Pops backyard!

A little backyard fun with dad on Father's Day

Popsicles and a paddling pool.  The perfect equation for a perfect summer!

Little Miss Priss ready for the neighborhood pool

Too cool for school, these two.

A day around here wouldn't be complete without a few costume changes.  These girls live in costumes these days!

We had a great June, and now we are gearing up for a visit from our cousins for the 4th of July!
