Pseudo Stay-Cation

We had a fun weekend with Max's family this past weekend! We haven't been up for a whole weekend in awhile, so it was fun to have a lot of time with the cousins for Tucker, and Brayden:)

We got up there Friday night and had some dinner with Max's sister's family.  Tucker had fun playing and dancing around with his cousins after dinner.

Brayden loved getting some attention from Auntie Erica and Uncle Mike!

We went back to Max's mom's house and after we got the kids down I found this beauty: Max was a pretty cute kid...and clearly our kids take after him, as if there was a question:) Tucker had fun sleeping at GG's in Max's old room...lots of new toys to play with!

Saturday we loved!  We are big fans of being active on trips so we were pumped that the weather cooperated to climb up Talcott mountain.  We weren't sure how the boys were going to do being in their hiking packs for that long, but they seemed to enjoy the ride.  Thankfully it was a pretty easy hike-I think Max's shoulders started to hurt towards the end, but Tucker is a heavy kid. We climbed to the top and had lunch and walked up to the top of the tower.  The views were so pretty!  Annie and Charlotte did a great job too-little kids don't always love hikes, but they did awesome!

 Ignore the awkward arm hold by Max:)

 Our kids are great sleepers...but typically in a bed/crib.  Not for lack of trying, but they have never been great at falling asleep in strollers, etc.  Well, they continue to surprise us.  Brayden fell asleep on my back on the way back down.  So cute and adorable!

The girls at the bottom after finishing the hike! So proud of them!

 We continued our day of activity at the pool-some brother sister races and breath-holding contests ensued:)

 Tucker napped for most of the afternoon and thought the pool was too cold to play, but he did have fun in the sandbox with Char.

 All four of the cousins:)

 We finished the night at Peachwave...Max thought he had pulled Tucker's elbow out of its socket, but thankfully ignoring it and a little ice cream "healed" it up:)

 And then he spilled ice cream (liquid) all over his shorts...this was my solution.  Max was a little embarrassed:)
