My children are lucky that most of their cousins live within driving distance of where we live. In fact, all of my siblings and their families are within 15 minutes of my house. This makes it somewhat easy to get together on a regular basis. It is only somewhat easy since we all have complicated schedules, mine (ours) being the most difficult. Sometimes that means that celebrations get strung out. While Ethan's birthday was on Labor Day and we had a grandparent's party and a friend's party, we had not yet celebrated with the cousins. Ethan was not at all worried. After all, it is really just an excuse to get together.
This time we went to Bass Pro Shop. My kids were the only ones who had been there. The boys, Angelo and Lando James, were taken in. We had a lovely lunch at the restaurant in the store, got to ride on the glass elevator that goes down next to the side of the giant fish tank, they got to see the fish being fed and they got to try out some of the gear. The fish feeding was a bit of a highlight as a scuba diver goes into the tank. Many of the fish take on eager dog-like personalities, waiting to be fed, following the person around, getting in her face and acting thrilled when they finally get a morsel to eat.
The kids thought it was a lot of fun to try out the boats and the ATV. It was especially fun to snap a photo of my mom on the big, aggressive beast of an ATV!
