With all the goings on around us, we are making our last trip to the niece & nephew’s house, Brianna’s cousins…Brianna’s cousins is her mom’s first cousins and then their kids are Brianna’s second cousins…The names of the cousins are
Kevin & Kelli (the parents) then the kids are Bayne (the eldest daughter), Shyler (the youngest daughter) & Kevin Jr. (the only son)…They have a nice house around the area of Crestview and it is fun to go over there to eat some good cooking and play games…
On the way over to Kevin & Kelli’s, we were listening to The Princess & The Frog soundtrack…There are several songs on the soundtrack that are Brianna’s favorites…The first song is Goin’ Down the Bayou and then the Madam Odie song…She also likes the prince song…So while driving we were singing to Goin’ Down the Bayou while she was sipping her Caprisun…What fun we had singing the songs on our drive which was about 35 mins. from the KOA that we are staying at…
After arriving at the cousins’ house, Brianna saw the kids and started playing with them…Everybody went outside and she came out and was having fun with Shyler…They found a little green truck to ride down the hill on and then found a 2-wheel dolley…Brianna stood on the dolley and Shyler pushed her around the yard…They were having lots of fun…
Kevin was making burgers on the grill…He was using charcoal briquets on his propane grill which he said was versatile to use that way…But the hamburgers were the regular ground beef and the grease from the burgers was making one heck of a smoke screen…But after all the burgers were done, they were delicious along with the pasta salad, twice baked potatoes (which was the only 2 sides I had) but there was also Richard’s pickles and cole slaw…Brianna wouldn’t try any part of the hamburger or potato so we made her 2 hot dogs for her
dinner…Then there was strawberry shortcake for dessert…Bri didn’t eat the spongecake with the strawberries but she did eat the strawberries which were in the strawberry glaze that Kevin put together…Yummy…Then she had a popsicle for a snack…
This is the backyard of Kevin & Kelli’s house…The have a very nice big swimming pool, a lake to go fishing in with a small boat with a small motor on it, when it’s nice out lots of red ants…They did take down some trees from out of their yard…
Before the evening was winding down and before the kids were getting ready for bed for school, we took a few last pictures for this visit of Brianna & her cousins…Brianna is hugging Bayne first…
Brianna is hugging Shyler…
Brianna is hugging Kelli and then Kevin…For Brianna to hug Kevin is a huge event…The last time we had Brianna in 2007-2008, she wouldn’t go near him…Now she will talk to him and ask him for things so this hug was very unexpected…
Then we put Brianna on the couch to watch cartoons while Richard & I were being taught a new way to play a card game called Golf…After the Golf game, Richard won, we played Pegs and Jokers and the girls won..We played as teams, boys vs girls…It was a close game but it was getting late and we had to get ready to leave…It was a great way to end an evening…
