This morning we headed back to Aunt Cyn’s house to visit with my cousin Kelly and her two boys.

I promise you there’s no way Draylon and Tyler have grown this much. Surely Kelly is giving them too many multi-vitamins!

Draylon and Tyler were so sweet to play with Schäfer ALL morning.

Schäfer dived off the diving board

It was time.

One of my goals while we were in America was to get my hair cut.

I say goal because to get my hair cut, I have to leave the kids with someone. Thank you Grandmaw and Nanamaw for watching the kids this afternoon.

One of the big treats (for Schäfer) was getting to eat jelly bellies with Grandmaw after nap time. Grandmaw is a jelly belly expert.

Once we were back at Grandmaw’s the pace returned to:

8am breakfast
8:30am backyard fun
11am indoor toy time (due to heat)
12pm lunch
12:30 naps
3:30 backyard fun
6:30 supper
7:30 bedtime

Repeat.

On this particular day (after naps), we decided to go to the city park, but first we needed some “sno cones”.

The possibilities were endless.

I settled on the pink lemonade because I
