Aunt Heidi and Dale, Splash Pads, Father-Son Time, Big Families

This morning Kade kept telling me that he wanted to go to the park with aunt Heidi and his cousin Dale. Luckily, after having a yummy lunch at Cafe Rio again, we went and found a park/splash pad for him to play with them at. 

He loves his aunt Heidi and her son Dale. We lived by them until Kade was 2 years old so the Simmons have a special place in his heart. He has loved driving everywhere with aunt Heidi and he is Dale's little shadow everywhere else.

This afternoon Brad got to go shoot ground squirrels with his Dad and brother Kyle. They had a lot of fun together. I'm glad he was able to have some good quality time with his Dad and brother.

Big families are so much fun. My Dad comes from a family of 7 children and my Mom comes from a family of 8, so I grew up with a lot of aunts and uncles and cousins and loved it. Brad comes from a family of 8 children and I've loved seeing Kade bond with all of his 27 cousins. It gets pretty chaotic now and then, but so many memories have been created these past few days, as they have been with all the other trips and reunions we've had with the Hobson family. I feel blessed and lucky to have a great family of my own and to have married into a great BIG family. Kade and Tenley have so many great cousins to have fun with and look up to.
