4th of July part 2


I thought it was about time to finish up posting the rest of our July pictures - seeing as the month is almost over. We'll start with the rest of our holiday weekend pictures. On the actual 4th of July we all headed over to Alison and Darren's new house for a lovely, tasty dinner. We (maybe just I) did eat quite a substantial amount of food, but that's what a holiday is all about - right? Anyway we had a relaxing time just spending time hanging out, that is until we decided to try and take a picture of all of the cousins.
Anna's Mom had made cute matching skirts for all of the girls (Poppy is modeling hers above) and bought matching shirts for the boys. They all looked so cute and sweet, so it was decided that would should try for the holy grail of family pictures and get a cousins picture. It all started out well, the 3 girls did really well and we got some really cute pictures. However, when it came time to getting all 6 of them in one picture, things didn't really pan out so well. In the kids defense this was before they ate, so I completely understand their lack of patience. After many attempts and some quite hilarious pictures, we got one with all 6 of them kind of looking (if you ignore the fact that Maia is looking down, and Poppy is about to cry). This seriously was the best one, in the very next frame Cullen has bolted and Poppy is breaking down. Oh well, it's cute enough and far better than the time we all went to Kiddie Kandids (all i'm going to say is that I am not surprised they went out of business).
After dinner we all went to the park and had fun on the zip-line and swings (that is until the sprinklers came on unexpectedly). All in all it was a lovely end to the holiday weekend.



Could Poppy be any more cute?- I submit that she could not
