Cousins swim time

I think one of things we are probably going to miss the most about Arizona is cousin time.  Although our kids don't have very many cousins, they sure love the ones they've got.  Kaylin and Zacky were some of their favorite people and they all loved to spend time with one another.  Kaylin idolizes Miss M, and thus Maddie loves to be around her.  Eli has a special smile that he reserves only for when he sees his buddy "Zacky" and would run right over to play with him.  The last few weeks before our move, we were able to get together a few extra times to sneak some playtime in.  Our highlight was probably the infamous cousin sleepover we hosted at Grandma's house.  Kaylin felt like such a big girl having a sleep over with her cousins and kept saying "it's time to go to bed ALLLL together for sleep over!"  We celebrated with popcorn and movie night watching "Princess and the Frog" and then promptly went to bed.  The next day the kids were all so excited to eat breakfast with Katers and Maddie had a ball dressing Kaylin in some of her clothes.  We cannot wait to see our Hamelwright family again!
