Cousin time!

Cousin Lucas is staying with us for a few days.  It is so much fun watching the kids interact.  Lucas is about nine months younger than Ruby, but they are the same size.  Lucas is fascinated by all the cool tricks Alli and Ruby do... like climbing and jumping and balancing in precarious positions, etc.  Lucas is learning lots from his cousins (sorry Betsy and Jory).  Today he tried to stand on the rocking horse like Ruby likes to do.

Lucas is being good too.  He and Ruby like to give high-fives and hugs to each other.  He is taking turns and sharing.

The cousins have been to the zoo and the park.  They got dirty together... and they took a bath together complete with lots of bubbles.  In the top picture Lucas has a bubble stuck right between his eyes.  Ruby liked popping the bubbles on Lucas' head.

I hope these cousins stay close friends.

But Karyn, there seems to be something you didn't mention. Grandma Utah told me Ruby and Alli also showed Lucas how to do face plants off the bed onto the floor.

Somehow they will all survive childhood and I'm sure they'll stay close friends.

Love, Grandpa Utah
