Cousinly fun

Joshua got to spend some quality time with his cousin Abigail this weekend. Dave was out of town at a conference and I had to work out of our Jackson office for a few days so Joshua got to play with Aunt Glo, Uncle Chad and Abigail.

Because it has been so hot around here the last few weeks, we had to get creative with our outings this weekend. Friday, Gloria and Chad took the babies to Kroger to ride in the carts that have Cozy Coupes attached to them and then to the indoor playground at Chick-fil-A. Saturday, instead of taking the cousins to the zoo, Gloria and I opted for the Bass Pro Shop that has as many stuffed animals as a zoo has live animals.

The added bonus of the Bass Pro Shop is that there are boats on display that you can climb into and sit in. This served as our equivalent to the train ride at the zoo.

Abigail steered while Joshua worked the throttle.

"I think if we just push this button we can get this thing started."

Joshua's turn "driving".

Monday while I was at work, Abigail and Joshua had a pillow fight. From the looks of this video, the fight was terribly one-sided and Abigail was a fantastic sport through it all.

We are looking forward to Joshua's 4th of July parade at school this Friday.

I'm hoping to get some good pictures and video to mark the occasion.
