Cousin Love



We went to Chicago last week. We had the best time. Jenelle spent lots of time with her cousins and there are many highlights to share.

Jenelle went down her first water slide. We went to Rainbow Falls and with a little encouraging she went down the slide. Jenelle and I shared a double inner tube. I could tell she was really nervous. She had tears in her eyes as we were walking up the stairs. Well she had the best time. We did that slide a bunch more times.

It was hot and humid while we were there so we also spent a lot of time at the neighborhood pool. They have a low dive there. I kept asking Jenelle if she wanted to jump off the diving board. Each time it was a definite NO. David was putting together a video montage of our trip and he convinced her to jump off. David did an awesome job with the video. He picked very dramatic music and now we have this great memory of her first jump all on DVD.

Carly and Jenelle had lots of fun dressing the same and they put make-up on almost every day. David built a huge two room fort to play in. David did some magic tricks for Jenelle. The cousins really had a good time.

We tried to go sailing on Papa's boat, but we didn't get the right weather. We'll have to do that next time.

We miss everybody!
