More cousins

My sister, Stephanie, just moved from North Carolina this week. Since Steph lived so far away before I hadn't seen her or her kids in about 2 years. Now they will only be about 3 hours away from us and I am so excited to have a someone from my family live within driving distance. My mom, Steph, and her 3 kids came to visit for a few a days to help pass some of the time while they waited for all of their stuff to arrive at their new house. (McKay is driving the moving truck across the country with his Dad).
Isaac and Ian were pretty excited to see Max and Renee and they got along really well. Ian and Renee are about the same age and it was fun to see them play together. (Logan and Izzie didn't make it in the picture.)
One of the days they were here, we went to a fun park. My kids call it the 'castle park' because the playground is so big and resembles a castle. If it wasn't so HOT we might have stayed a little longer. Afterwards we went to McDonald's to get some cool drinks and snacks.
It was so fun having everyone come visit, even if it was just for a few days. At least we know that we can come visit each other more often now.

Where is she moving to? Fun for you to have her close by. Is she excited to be back on the West Coast? Cute pictures.
