Since I have pictures off two cameras, I'm splitting this up into two posts because I'm just not able to think hard enough to figure out how to merge the two sets of pictures right now! Here is a shot of the whole group, and you can see why renting a house wasn't going to be an option!! I'm not sure my parents realized how their "six" would multiply quickly into 19!!
We rented these bikes on two different mornings. The kids had a blast pedaling and riding along.....and the adults got their exercise either pedaling the bikes, or pushing them up the hills to keep the kids moving!
Clara and Chloe, our 5 year olds!
Monica and Darien took good care of the babies
Uncle Tommy to the rescue!
Eliza thought this game of pushing the garbage can up and down the ramp was a very cool idea of Boden's and walked along in delight!
Boden lifted the garbage can up onto the porch swing, and then they climbed up to swing with it! Eliza even went in for the kiss!!
These two became good buddies by the end of the trip, and Eliza loved following Boden around. She even insisted on walking up and down the stairs without help, like her cousin, and got herself a nice bump on the cheek when she took a tumble! The stairs had no railing!!
Poker night for the "big kids"
Tickle time!!
My baby brother with his baby girl!
Aunt Tommy (as Hannah kept calling him! We do have mostly girls in our family!!) with his two babies. They are both adorable, but rarely stop moving-no wonder their mommy is in such good shape!!
Tommy enjoying some quiet time in Darien's snuggie!
Two beautiful nieces, Monica and Nellie Jo
Molly, Monica and Darien heading out to shop!
Joe's fiance, Cara, (hooray!!) and Aunt Julie
Hannah and Chloe formed a strong friendship, playing together all day long, and switched dresses this day for fun!
More fun together with squirt bottles! Chloe was rarely seen without her squirt bottle and kept us all cool!
Darien with Eliza, heading to the park
Sweet Chloe on her way to the park too!
Crazy monkey boy......he gets it from his daddy!!
We hiked up the hill to this outdoor theater where we watched The Sound of Music.
Eliza started out the round of mini-golf with a mini-nap :)
Playing in the indoor arcade...
Uncle Joe helps Boden check out the Hulk!
She's up and ready to golf!!
The mini-golfers...
Curious George trying to figure out where the balls are going...
These two loved to grab the golf balls and put them in the hole!
Boden debating a climb to the top, and Tommy watching closely, knowing what he is thinking!!
The kids only made it 9 holes in the heat, then headed inside for air conditioning and games......a true golfer never quits at 9 holes, though......I have a feeling the "back 9" went a little more quickly for Boppa!
An evening hay ride!
They went flying past.....Eliza lifted up in the air makes me a little nervous!! Glad Joe had a good hold on her!
This year they had mommy and baby pairs for sale, which the girls were so excited about! 
The look of awe on their faces (kids and adults, too!) never left during the performance! It is truly an amazing show!!
Hannah's favorite part was when the elephants came out, and Clara loved the tigers. I think Joe and I were most impressed by the incredible gymnasts!
The girls finished off the evening with their own "circus performances" and have been playing circus every day since!
