Extended Family

After the fun park we went over to my cousin Melanie's cabin in the Show Low area.  I hardly ever get to see aunts, uncles and cousins, so it was fun to get to see 4 sets of aunts and uncles and a few cousins on this trip.  Melanie was there with her husband and 4 boys (her 3 older girls were at camp or something) and also my Uncle Don and Aunt Sandy.  We had a nice time talking with them for a while.  (Side note for Connor's journal:  Connor was so sick after doing the go-carts three times that he cried the whole way to Melanie's cabin and threw up in her front yard the second we got there.  Sorry about that Melanie!  He felt much better after that.)
 The kids instantly meshed with her boys and had fun playing all together.
 
 It was also fun to see Melanie's newest little guy, Jackson.
 On Thursday afternoon we drove to my Uncle Kent & Aunt Pat's house in Taylor, AZ (near Snowflake).  They have the best kid yard ever.  All of the kids were in heaven!
 Kent gave all of the kids "tractor rides," for quite a while and they loved it.
 
 
 Landon was excited to have a basketball hoop at just the right height.
 
 Three boys all wanting the same coveted tractor.  They drove it all over the yard until the battery died.
 
Kent & Pat brought out tons of chips and frozen drinks too.  Jacob said "I love this place!"  Just before we left my cousins Eric & Gary showed up, who I haven't seen in years.  Thanks for a fun time!
