Cousin Time

Since Shalae is sleep training little Owen and Sara’s in Europe, I decided to take the three older Brown kids and the three younger Douglass kids for a couple of days during spring break and do some fun things together. The first day, we walked through the Ashton Gardens, went to the Museum of Natural Curiosity, and met up with Grandpa for dinner at Chili’s, where each child ordered a Mini Chocolate Molten…to die for!

The next day, we went to lunch and a matinee, where we sat in recliners—a first, and we will all be forever ruined! It was the most comfortable way to watch a movie in a theatre. Then we decorated and filled SU! Mini Egg Cartons for the long-distance cousins and finished our time together with swimming.

When I asked them how they would describe the two days, they used words like awesome, best, and fun! It was great cousin time, and I was glad to tag along!

You're amazing! Because you also managed to hack into the Friday video stream of Onstage in Amsterdam. You're so rad! :-)

The best part of this story is that you were feeling up to entertaining six kids in Gardner Grand style. Continued healing for you, Shelli.

"Yes," to the above noted comments! What a fabulous way to share time together and bond even more! I thought the same about the nice weather, lol (and for everything else)! Life is good; God Bless!

I cannot get over what a beautiful person you are Shelli --and though I mean externally too, it's your lovely spirit, positive outlook and and determination to promote the GOOD in all you blog about that I find most uplifting. LOVE your comments about what you like to see in the "comments" from people, and your obvious close relationship with God!
