On the way back from California and all its fiscal problems we stopped to stay at Boxwood Farm in Maryland. As always Aunt Katy and Uncle Brad had their place in spectacular shape. The Ehmann cousins had fun with the Harris cousins and Ehmann-Jones cousins. The weather was perfect and so was the pool. We wish that we lived closer!
Erin was a water baby from day one. Caroline needed some convincing but soon adjusted to swimming in her flotation suit.
Splish-splash!
Bubble time with Lyla was a huge hit
and so were the scones that Aunt Claire made for us
Dad taught Caroline one of life's simple pleasures - eating Doritos right out of the bag
There were even more cows (and flies) than last time
Sabrina was good with the little ones
With three hungry toddlers, Katy's garden got picked clean every day
We tried and tried to get a group photo but it was impossible. Here's one with four adults smiling and all six kids looking away. There's always next year...
Grampa Ed and Grandma Joan with the littlest ones
Caroline and Sabrina loved the motorboat ride
We're told Erin got her red hair from Grandma Joan and her Holden ancestry
Chubby Charlie caught everyone's attention
Auntie Claire reading books
Soon enough the girls will be into princesses and dress-up. For now some tulle is all they need to have fun.
It's 10 pm. Do you know where your children are?
By 10:30 she finally passes out surrounded by pillows in the big bed
