Summer fun with the Manwaring Cousins

All the cousins (except Emmy) Ryder, Makayla, Logan, Savannah, Brooklyn, and Brynnley.

My sister Jalinda and her family(who live in San Antonio) came to visit for a month this summer. They came for my little brother's wedding, but Jalinda stayed a little longer to help me with Ryder and everything. She has 3 kids; Makayla (9) Logan (5) and Savannah (3). My girls love, love, love their cousins and they had an absolute blast spending every possible minute with them. Jalinda and Mike (her hubbie) entertained Brynnley and Brooklyn and spent a lot of time helping out at my house (some fun vacation for them) so I just need to say THANKS JALINDA and that I love my sister! Anyway, despite all the craziness, we had a fun time and they really did a lot of fun stuff while they were visiting. A few of the highlights were going swimming, going to the Zoo, going to the Dinosaur Museum, Fireworks on the 24th of July, Smores in the canyon, movie and sleepover nights, family BBQ's, eating out a lot, and just playing, laughing, and hanging out. We can't wait until they come back for Christmas!

I'm so glad your sister was able to come and stay for so long. I bet it helped a lot, that's why everyone needs a sister. It looks like your kids loved the extra fun!

There's nothing like sisters! I'm glad she was there to help you out, now you need to let the rest of us help you out as well. Your kids looked like they had a blast.

Enjoy the moment!
