Cousins 2011

The Sullivan cousins were  all together for one final summer weekend at the cabin last week.  We missed out on taking a group photo on the dock last year, so Karen made sure we got one in this year.  It’s never an easy task to keep your balance while standing up in a boat and taking a picture of six kids.  The sun was bothering my blue-eyed children so we had to wait for a cloud to pass before they could keep their eyes open.  Sebastian wants everyone to wear sunglasses in next year’s photo.  Getting everyone to look at the camera and smile at the same time is also a quite a task.

Here’s what we got…

Cousins II
Cousins, III

 

We did get this “cousins” picture last year at Sean and Melissa’s house while the kids (minus Max) were enjoying the warm weather with a homemade slip-n-slide.  This is one of my all-time favorites.

And here’s the dock photo from two years ago.  Looks like they have grown a bit!

MCP Project 52 ~ Weeks 33 & 34

Week 33 Theme ~ Slow Down And Look Back

The car was packed, the boat was on the trailer, the kids were buckled in – it was time to depart from our cabin rental in Hayward.  I took a look back at the dock where we spent a week swimming, boating and enjoying our family time together.  It was picture perfect in more ways than one.

Week 34 Theme ~ Connections
Sometimes the kids fight like cats and dogs, but this photo captures a moment that I will always cherish.  A moment of love and respect for one another – a connection.
