Swimming and Sleepovers

There are two activities at grandma's house that have become a given - swimming and sleepovers.  There doesn't seem to be a day that goes by that the kids don't swim.  The pool and hot tub are always in use, and the kids just love it.  Even the moms can usually squeeze in an afternoon or two to relax in the pool.  The kids play games, do tricks, and get braver and braver each year.  The cousin sleepovers began a few years ago with a once-a-summer Cousin Campout.  It has now evolved into a twice a week request, from the older crew down to the younger crew.  Dallen informed us this summer that 16 is too old for the Cousin Campout.  How sad is that??  He did humor them for one sleepover, but after that it was Callie, Colbie, Spencer, and Tyler.  Tyler had double duty, too, since he has a little shadow-cousin, Carson, who really wants a boy to have play with and sleepover with!!  Thankfully Tyler likes playing the role, and they were able to squeeze in a sleepover of their own.  The little girls (and Carson) had two sleepovers at grandma's house, one at Stephanie's house, and Ella and Aubrey had one by themselves (while Ruby was sick).  Such fun pictures and great memories for these kids!
