wichita

With out a doubt, going down to Wichita to spend time with their cousins is one of my kids absolutely favorite things. They just love their big cousins, and my nieces and nephew are just the most amazing kids with them.

We were lucky that the kids didn't have any school last Friday, and with my mom being in town for the week, taking a quick trip down to see my brother and his family worked out perfectly. The kids quickly reunited and they never separated till we had to leave early Saturday morning. It's so fun to watch them all together and to see my little kids look up to their big cousins, they truly admire them.

We spent the afternoon at the Sedgwick County Zoo. I love this zoo. They have so many neat enclosures and you can get up close and see all of the animals. It's really fun and definitely one of my favorites too. 

just practicing his walking skills at the zoo.

  That evening, after a yummy dinner, the kids played outside till it was too dark too play. Miss Payton taught Miss Bre how to play volleyball, while Chase and Paul played baseball, Fisher rode a scooter, and Kory kept Oliver busy and happy.

  We had to leave early Saturday but the kids were still able to squeeze some last minute fun. Cousins make the best horses... don't they?

  You are never short on balls in their house!

  Love these small moments when we get to spend time with family. It may have been a quick trip but it was just what we(and definitely the kids) needed. Hope we can do this again soon!
