Will & Alli

We sure have had a fun week!  Will got to spend the week with his cousin, Alli.

We learned about Real Pirates. . .

And then we brought Alli home with us.  We spent the week up here swimming, hiking, playing, and learning to ride a bike!  (You've almost got it, Alli!  Keep practicing at home. : )

These two were together the whole time.  

The last day of Alli's visit I planned to coordinate the kids' clothes & take them on a little hike up to Dinosaur Lake & take a couple pictures.  Well, plans don't always cooperate!  The road to get there was covered in snow (still!), and we got a late start.  So the lighting is terrible.  The sun was right overhead making awful shadows.  

But the kids were still cute!

The picture above was taken right after I said, "Okay, everyone say, 'POOPY PANTS!!"

Works every time.

Thanks for visiting, Alli!  We miss you already.

Love, Aunt Mel
