p-town posse

ramona and james' cousins caleb and byron made the long trek from minneapolis to plymouth to see their mormor and morfar last week, and we were lucky enough to have some time to join them there. we had so much fun, as always.

we filled the kiddie pool beyond the recommended capacity (a favorite past time of mine, to be sure).


james the sun worshipper lounged pool side, adjusting his sun umbrella.




we had some beach time at long lake, where ramona and caleb helped mormor hunt for zebra mussels.


back at the house, there was a t-ball that produced a surprising amount of toddler cooperation and sharing,


minor mechanical repairs to the yard equipment,


and byron showed me how much cooler my sun glasses look on him than me. 


the end of stay included a visit to downtown plymouth for the mill street festival. i made my official debut as "frazzled mother and aunt with too many children hanging off of her body."
