My brother, Robert, and his family joined us from Kansas for a few days and we packed in as much as we could. One priority was getting to the beach--the weather cooperated and Galveston was lovely only six months after Hurricane Ike. Here's the group of kiddos. They mix together so well, you may not be able to tell which are mine.
Caleb and cousin Jayden, both just 3, loved the sand and the water!
Here's my mermaid girl!
One night we roasted marshmallows--a Larsen kid favorite pasttime--followed by a late-night movie up in the theatre room, staying up past midnight which has become a rarity since Colton's seminary days have begun. Below we have Eli, Kalli, Annette, Hannah, and Zac.
Below is Eli, picking off the burnt part along with my brother Rob and Kalli again.
We also enjoyed a day up with our friends, the Masters, near Bastrop TX, but I forgot my camera. The kids all rode horses and played games all day. It was lovely and the next day us parents went to the temple and treated ourselves to Perry's for lunch. Breaks are so nice and seeing my brother and his family was a treat as we just had the best time--thanks for coming to see us and the rest of you are welcome most anytime!
