Cousins!!

 Well summer is over and we saved the best for last! My sister and her family came in on Friday and stayed through Tuesday. We had the best time! When I told Jackson that his cousins Nathan and Katie were coming during this visit, he said, "Finally!" Before they arrived we decided to head to the Tellus museum to see the dinosaurs! I think climbing the rock outside was the highlight of the trip. :)
 Panning for jewels. Always a favorite!
 Time to find some dinosaur bones!
 Future astronaut?
 Oh Beckett......
 We also celebrated the Adair boys birthdays. Ryan is Beckett's "baseball buddy." He loved picking out his present and couldn't wait to give it to him! We just got our teams for this year, and we are sad that Jackson and RJ are not on the same time. Good thing is they go to our church, so Beckett will still get to see his buddy!!
 Beckett giving Ryan his present. I thought it was so sweet until Beckett had a meltdown because he couldn't open it and play with it :(
 Warming up our painting skills for the school year!
 This is a favorite post dinner game. The boys ride their bikes or 4 wheelers around the pool and try to beat eachother around the turn.
 Finally the time had come for cousins to arrive! Unfortunately, we had a little snafoo with the airport pick up. First of all, they forgot about them resulting in an hour late pick up time. Then, they did not have the booster seat that they were supposed to have. Finally, they took them to our old address!! Needless to say, we will not be using their service again. They did try to make it up to us by giving us 50% off.












 They made it! Time to head to our favorite lunch spot...Taqueria Tsunami! Cousins sharing cheese dip :)
 Picture in front of the fountain! Guess who didn't want to cooperate?
 Funny Beckett. This is how he likes to eat his granola bars. He likes to pick out all the chocolate chips first. While he gets the chocolate out, he lines them up on his leg and then eats the rest.












 We spent a lot of time swimming in our pool, but the Georgia heat started to be a little much for these Indiana folks. We decided to do a little bowling!
 I got this mom!
 Since Katie is almost 14, we were able to convince her to watch the kids one night while the adults when downtown for dinner. We went to optimist and had a great time. To reward her, we made her favorite dessert....smores.
 Toasty!
 My sister made mint infused simple syrup for mojitos for us, so we decided to use the rest to make lemonade for the kids. They LOVED it! They really thought they were getting something special. Somehow, they started calling it moonshine ?!?! We really don't know where that came from, but hopefully, it will not be repeated!!
 Yummy!
 Poor Coraline dropped her smore. She makes the best sad face!!
 Such a fun trip! The kids played so well together and really had a great time!
 My girlfriend Christine is renting a condo in Buckhead, so she invited some of us for a girls night. Sarah came along and we hit the town! I can't remember the last time we were able to go out together!!
Swimming, swimming, and more swimming. I think this night was the highlight for Nathan. Nighttime swimming. He thought that was the greatest thing ever! I am so glad they were able to make another trip to Atlanta, and we can't wait until the next one! We love all of you!!!
