More Johansen Cousin Fun

It's been a good week for cousin visits. My brother Mark and his family were in town and spent Sunday afternoon with us. After Nathaniel showed the progress of the rock polishing process in his tumbler (more on that in a later post), the activities turned to waveboard demonstrations. Davis did a brief one and then went back to watch TV with his cousin Blake. Then it was the dads' turns.
Chris has become fairly adept at the waveboard. He can turn back and forth in the driveway while wearing his flip flops.
I am glad to say at the conclusion of Mark's turn, there were no broken elbows or wrists.
Nanette, Cassie, and Holly. Cassie was really interested in splashing in the water left from rinsing the rocks in the polisher.
Inside, the older kids were playing an amazingly quiet game of hide and seek. Here are Blake and Jamie (I'm not sure who is "it".) Our house isn't very big, but they find some really good hiding places.
We found out that Cassie loves to dance. She would dance as soon as Davis began to play the piano and stop the instant he stopped.
We had a great time hanging out with the cousins. Thanks for coming guys!

We had a great time and were well fed. It always amazes me how the kids just find things to do wherever they are...as long as there are cousins! N.
