Barrett had Good Friday off work and we were trying to come up with something fun to do as a family. Barrett finally had the great idea to go see my brother's family in West Virginia since they will be moving this summer to the west coast. We called them up and invited ourselves over. We loved it!! We packed up our car and headed out Thursday afternoon. We stopped for dinner then at REI. Barrett needed a bike and we had a coupon and dividend. Barrett asked to test ride the bike he was looking at and they fitted him with a helmet and orange vest then sent him outside. The boys thought it was the coolest thing to watch their dad ride a bike. They kept saying, "Can Dad buy that bike?" While he was looking around, I tried to occupy the boys and they found these cool bike helmets:) (And yes, he did buy the bike)
We made it to West Virginia that night and stayed up late talking. We had a fabulous time! The kids played and played. They rode bikes and scooters (sometimes with helmets and sometimes without), went to the park, went to Cooper's Rock to roast some hot dogs and s'mores, dyed Easter eggs, played outside, had an egg hunt, ate yummy food, enjoyed being together, going to an ice cream/gun shop, and loving our cousins! Unfortunately we had to leave Saturday late afternoon to get home for Easter Sunday and our responsibilities at church. We sure had a great time and are really going to miss our only cousins close to us (if 5 hours can be close!)
