More Cousins!!

A few weekends ago, we had the chance to visit with some extended family. We had a family baby shower for Kevin's cousin, Brian, and his wife, Jen. It was great to see out of town family we hadn't seen in a long time. We also got to see Kevin's cousin, Keith and his wife, Aaron. They use to live in Evansville and we spent a lot of time together back before children and before they moved away. Actually, Aaron and Keith are who introduced Kevin and I. We are happy they are now back within driving distance of Evansville. Keith, Aaron, and their children had never met either of our boys and we had not met their youngest, Cooper. Well, Cooper and his sister, Lauren. left a lasting impression on Garrett! He has talked about them quite a bit since that weekend. The kids got to play with one another most of the day and evening on that Saturday and us big kids even got to go out and have some adult fun:)
I made sure to capture some pictures of Garrett and his new buddy, Cooper. They played really well together. They are second cousins.....sometimes family make the best of friends:)

We also took a trip to the fantasy of lights this same night.  Due to a temporary misplaced camera, I did not get any pictures on the actual carriage ride around the lights. Grant stayed asleep in the van while Kevin's cousin, Keith, drove through the light display with some other family members. Garrett rode through the light display on the horse carriage with me, Kiley, Amber, Lauren, Grandma, and Granddad Hamilton.
