At the beginning of the month we were lucky enough to have the boys' Utah cousins stop for a visit on their way out to visit Grammy and Papa (in Elgin, Illinois). They arrived on a Saturday evening and stayed through Wednesday morning. It has been 2 1/2 years since we had seen these cousins and I was immediately surprised by how much they have grown up. Collin is now 14 (!) and Warner is 11. Despite the age difference, they were great playing with my boys. Finn called them his "friends" and loved to drag them around with him everywhere!

| Me and Bree....she looks a little funny here, but it's not often that I get a picture of me with her, so I'll take it. |
The first day was Sunday, and also Stake Conference. So, we enjoyed the day at home and in the afternoon Reid and our boys, and Kara (Reid's sister) and her boys headed out to Garden of the Gods.

On Monday Finn had a clinic visit in the morning, so it was a lazy morning. In the afternoon, they all headed out again to take a tour of the Olympic Training Center.
Tuesday morning, Kara and her boys went ice skating. After that, they met up with Reid and the boys at the zoo.

| A wallaby I think. Maybe Reid has more pictures from this day? |
It was a fun and busy 3 days, but we really enjoyed the time. Kara was a great baby holder and helper around the house, and the boys loved having someone to play with. Wednesday after they left just seemed a little empty without them. Now that they know how easy of a drive it is, we're hoping to get to see them more often!
