Cousins

Well we made it to AZ. We still had 2 1/2 weeks of lots of fun activities left in our summer adventure tour. First stop was to see my sister, brother in law and niece and nephew. We actually got to see them twice but the first time we met at one of our favorite dueling piano bars. They have a family event on Sundays where they play kid friendly music and it is always so much fun for the family. The kids love the songs and often get picked to go on stage to do the hokey pokey or other fun activities.

Here is my nephew and I. He is one year older than F and is getting so tall!!!

My niece and nephew.
Uncle L with F.
Uncle L with Austin. L and I actually met up a few times during my visit. He took me to his boxing gym to take a few classes. It was so fun but VERY hard. I do boxing/kickboxing at home but when you have resistance with a bag, it makes it MUCH harder!! Lots of fun though.
My little sister and I. I should actually say she is my younger sister because she is way taller than me. I actually had to stand on the ledge just to equal her height. Somehow I got shorted the "tall" gene.
The second time we saw them we actually went to my sisters house and hung out for awhile. It was nice to just let the kids run and play and for my sister and I to talk and catch up.
Yeah, this is what you get when I ask for a nice picture. Seriously kids????
Aww, they love each other so much. These are the only cousins my kids have so I am so glad we were able to see them, even if it wasn't for very long.
