Swimming with cousins and saying, "Goodbye"

Grant, Ivan, Kaylen, Glynn and Mary

Today was a lot of fun for me and the kids. We drove 2 and a half hours north to see Bill's brother Patrick's family for the day. Patrick is also in the midst of a career change and is heading off to Oklahoma around the same time we head north to Minnesota. So today was also bittersweet, as we were saying, "Goodbye." Patrick is already in OK, so Bill stayed home to organize, pack and check things off on our very long "to do" list. It was a moms and kids day, so we just swam and played... and I got to spend some time with my sister-in-law, Pamela. It was a nice, relaxed SUMMERY day, and a fun, last Mississippi memory made for all the little cousins as well. It's been really nice to live close to Bill's side of the family down here - going to each other's kids' birthday parties, etc. We will miss them dearly. Thanks for a fun day, Pam. God bless your family in Oklahoma!
