Cousin's Camp JR. & Sisters Night Out

I am still blogging about our Adventures in Montana. You know our ULTIMATE ROAD TRIP!!!
Like I mentioned before the big kids 4 and up are enjoying Cousin's Camp at Granny & Pappy's in WY. It is now time for COUSIN'S CAMP JUNIOR!!! For the little munchkins 3 and under. We met at April's house for fun and activities.
The Pool of Pinto Beans was SUPER DUPER Fun! What a great Idea too! April has this cool "sun room" at her home where they have this pool set up for hours of playtime. Forget messy sand and try some cool beans :) to play in and scoop and toss and scoop and pour and toss some more!

It is RAINING Beans! :) The kids had so much fun. They loved being buried in the beans too. I love this pic of Brandon with just his face sticking out. Josie was not so sure about joining in the fun this time!


It was raining and pouring beans thanks to Aunt Amber! Better close your mouth Blakey Boy or you will be eating beans :)

Pure JOY! and Pure Boy! It was so funny when I spotted these little beans hanging out on Blake's head. They look so comfy up there! I loved the Pinto Bean Pool April!
PS... through out the day we found beans everywhere like diapers and pockets, socks & shoes. We giggled every time one wiggled its way out. :)


The backyard was another fun place to play. The swing set, bikes and friends oh my!


Happy Happy Blake! He loves to swing and couldn't get enough swinging time!



Merilee and I decided to take a dip in the Pinto Bean Pool and it really is FUN!! Hee Hee
Yes we both are a kid at heart still. After our little bean fight all the kids wandered back in to play some more. I sure love that Merilee. She is such a fun sister in law to have. She is a little jokester and loves to make you laugh. I just love her and we always have fun and laugh when we are together :)
ps...I found pinto beans on me in weird places through the day ;)



Our next activity was to make these cool Cheerio Bird feeders that you can hang in your back yard and the birds will love you! If you look at Blake's face he has tears. He is recovering from a 3 year old TEMPER TANTRUM that lasted WAY TOO LONG!!! I don't know what happened. He went from loving his happy little life to freaking out and throwing a fit. I think it is a combo with no naps and regular schedule for 5 days now and he was ticked about moving on from the swings. This 15 minute tantrum was not fun. but after a bit of cooling down we enjoyed making our bird feeder. Do you like Uncle Kris's Mega Bird Feeder??? That's where all the cheerios went :)


A picture of the Gals :) Love these ladies!!!
*L-R: Amber, Merilee, Jen, Anneke, Me & April


All the Cousins at Cousin's Camp JR. - Suckers are Aunt April's trick for everyone to sit still enough for a picture. it works like a charm :) Although some are more into there tasty treats then smiling for Aunt Loree. That's OK they are all so cute!
*L-R: Josie, Blake, Tyler, Ashlyn, Heather, Brandon, Brenna

Here is a few other cute shots I got of these adorable little cousins.

Look how cool this is. I think Aunt Merilee and/or April made the kids all T-Shirts. They are the cutest and fun memories of Cousin's Camp JR. We will all play again tomorrow at the Splash Park! Should be a Blast! ;)



~ SISTERS NIGHT OUT ~

We planned a girls night out with all the sisters and we had a great time. We left the kids with a couple uncles and got to enjoy some girl time chatting and eating good food!

We enjoyed the Olive Garden and each other's company! We laughed and joked and laughed some more. I almost got sprayed by Jen's drink a couple times because of the silliness. I am glad I was still dry when we left ;) It was nice bonding with my Zito sisters. Can't wait for the next Sister's Night Out!

It was fun. The picture of Brandon burried past his ears could quite possibly be the cuttest kid picture ever!
