While on the beach it’s always mandatory to take those “beach pictures”, you know the ones you’ll hand out for Christmas cards. Well that’s exactly what we did with my cousin’s kids. We took pictures and pictures and pictures. They all grew tired of them after awhile, so I ran with them up & down the beach. I’m sure their momma really loved me for doing that. I thought it was a good idea at the time. Turns out their mother wasn’t sure what to think. Ooooops! I did have fun getting to act like a kid all over again with those 4. Oh, the trouble we’d get into if their mother just left them with me for the week.
Sassafras felt the need to bring her attitude to pictures. Little miss does have quite the attitude. No, I don’t think I rubbed off on her. I love her. She’s spunky and says some of the craziest things. Things I never knew a newly 4 year old knew. Wish I knew what was going through that little head of hers, I’m sure the gears are constantly turning with the things she comes up with. All of the kids got a little too much sun this day. Don’t call the authorities, we blocked them up with 50SPF before all the beach trips. I’m not sure why they got as red as they did, but man Florida did not take it easy on them. Roomie & I barely used sunscreen :: Shhhhhhh, don’t tell our mom, but we never burnt. Well I take that back….Roomie sort of burnt on the last day.
The clan. This would be my crazy cousin who’s kids range from newly 4 to 9. Oh yes, at one point it was 4 kids under 5. I’m not quite sure how she’s survived them up until this point, but in less than 10 years over half of them will be driving. Now, if that isn’t a scary thought, I don’t know what is. Maybe I should be thinking about relocating to where this Okie Girl is more than just a state away from them.
