Cousins!

This week James and I spent Tuesday night into Wednesday at the cottage with Mom and Dad and Thomas and Josiah. The boys are in town visiting and instead of Grammy coming to Madison to babysit James - we went to them for a mini-vacation!


Josiah (almost 2), Thomas (4) and James (9months)


Tuesday night before bed the boys had "dunkers" with Buppa.  (Well James had a rice cake!) Anyway, this is a time honored tradition that TJ takes very seriously. Grammy had freshly baked chocolate chip cookies (on the plate) but TJ wanted "real dunkers" (store bought fake oreos!)
They dunk their cookies and count to 8 together (otherwise the cookies get too soggy) and then they eat them. And repeat, and repeat... :)



I don't have a great photo of the kid cave from this trip - but here are the boys enjoying it. 
James loves the soft blankets and rolled back and forth until he fell between the mattresses.
Thomas to the rescue!


Jojo bounced from bed to bed and I am pretty sure tested out each one before choosing where he was going to sleep. He was so proud to be in a big boy bed!


We also spent some time playing with Dad's train set. The tracks are set and now they are working on the city. Pictured here is the cattle car Mom got for her birthday. It is pretty cool!


The big boys and Buppa went on the Big Mable. Initially both said, "no way!" so James was going to go - then Thomas realized that if Jimmy James could do it, so could he!
About half way around the lake, Jojo decided to join them. So James watched from the boat!


Grammy and Buppa and the 3 boys - Mom says we are building a basketball team!


And some silly boys with mustaches!
