Annual Family Reunion

Collin had a great time playing with his cousins at the family reunion today. At first, he was a little shy and wanted me to hold him....this was also because of the two huge dogs that were on the front porch when we arrived. He told me were they were laying every 5 minutes. I knew he was tracking them and I could not put him back down until they were gone. Collin had fun with the water gun shooting his great uncle Dave and the other kids. He was using the water from the coolers on the porch so the unsuspecting "victim" of his water gun was in for a surprise. At one time, he was two-gun-wielding toddler. He then blew bubbles with the other kids for a few minutes. After a snack, he hung out inside in the A/C...smart little man.

He did spend some time on the swing set outside with Timmy. He slid down the slide some but mainly swung on the swing. He even began to learn how to keep the swing going. He also learned that he needed to hold onto the chains of the swing because he did end up falling out. He did cry but because he was scared....more than getting hurt.

After lunch was the annual water balloon fight. This time, the big kids separated from the little kids. At first, Collin stood there with his balloon and watched what the other kids were doing. Then, he figured out that he had to throw the balloon....but did not aim it at anyone. He did finally figure it out but there were only a few balloons left out of the 400 they started with.

He had a great time and slept most of the way home. He only woke up enough to come in the house and he is now continuing his nap on the couch. Cousins are so much fun!
