Baling Hay and Cousin Fun

Cousin time!  This summer the kids had several opportunities to see and play with their cousins. They always have so much fun together but they normally don't get to see each other too often.  So we definitely enjoyed the time that we had with them...Lots of swimming, golfing, playing baseball, baling hay, and good fun at the fair with them.  Here is Cailey (4) and Kiara (2) hanging out together.  They were so cute together and listening to them "talk" was adorable!
Playing in the sandbox.  Cailey was teaching her all kinds of things!
While they girls played outside of the pool, the boys took over inside the pool  playing basketball and lots of their own created games.  They LOVED this and let me tell you that it was very noisy with 4 boys (10 year old + three 8 year olds)! Whew!
Here's a picture they took at the fair this year of the Markley side grandkids...I may be biased but aren't they all just TOO cute???
The boys have been waiting all summer to bale hay (we missed the first cut because we were on vacation).  Finally the time came and they were so excited.  They got to help out on the wagon and in the field which was hard work, but they loved it!  All the boy cousins had a blast.
It was a late night that night.  The last bale of hay was put in the barn about 10:00 pm. 
Kiara decided she wanted to have her own fun and "discovered" where the markers were at Grandma's house...she was very blue for quite awhile!  Needless to say...we put the markers up and out of the way!
Here the girls stand waving at the boys coming up the lane with the hay wagon.  They would stand there waving the whole time up and down the lane.  Too sweet.
I have a few more summer fun pictures, but I'll save them for the next post...our summer fun is drawing to a close, but it's been a good one...very full this year!
