Starting yesterday – the girls went to a public pool and spent some time swimming until it just got too crowded.

They came home and worked on lots of tie-dye!

We just tried to recover from the whirlwind trip. Brendan was watching live cams of stingrays at Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Ashley created a fancy playroom bed so that Trevor could have some quiet time and watch cartoons on his iPad.

Brendan loves playing video games if someone will teach him. He is getting pretty good at the controllers.

Today, we spent hours rinsing and washing all the tie-dye. Then we
went crazy and set up “The Studio” for portrait time. I hadn’t done a 3.5yr picture session with the boys yet. They are all wearing new tie-dye straight from the dryer. Brendan is without his glasses in most shots because I simply could not get pictures of him without huge flat glare off of the lenses. His little face is so cute anyway!

Hopefully I can process all of the hilarious outtakes for tomorrow. I can’t believe the visit is over and we will be going to the airport tomorrow evening. I am in big trouble. I have two little boys that have loved having cousins and an aunt that dote on them.
