How Times Flies, Part 2

     So the next leg of our journey included driving up to Michigan to visit my OTHER set of awesome cousins.  Aunt June, Uncle Tom and their three adopted asian kids, Alexander (the oldest), Grace (the cutest), and Samuel (the youngest).

     We did lots of cool stuff at their house.  I watched Alexander and Chris play halo.  Mary, Alexander, Chris, and I watched everything from the early episodes of Stargate Atlantis to the 3rd season of Doctor Who.  Btw - I LOVE DAVID TENNANT (some people will know who I'm talking about, haha).  The majority of the funnest...wow I really am tired, listen to me!  Funnest indeed!  Anyway, that day that was very fun was spent at Kensington Lake.  We ate lunch, went kyaking, took lots of pictures, and then drove around to the other side of the lake to swim and ride the gigantic water slide.  Those who have seen my new gmail profile picture...I got it from here.

                        That's Aunt June and                 That's me and my little
                         Uncle Tom.  They're                 adopted cousin Grace!
                        really generous to us.                 She's ADORABLE!!!!

        That's me, Chris, Mary, and                     That would be Chris and 
     Alexander at Kensington Lake.                Alexander having a water fight.
      Yep...that's my brother, haha                  Wouldn't want to get near that...

       That's Sam (right), Katie (middle),                That's Sam and Aunt June out
        and Grace (left) in the backyard                 boating on the lake.  Sam really      
                 swimming pool.                                    freaks her out sometimes :)

         That's me trying to sink a                       That's mom and Aunt June
    battleship with my x-ray vision.                 sitting in beach chairs talking
         Naw...its just toy boat :)                       about something unbelievable.

     All in all, my stay at my cousins house was pretty awesome.  Love you guys!!!  We stopped at my great aunt's funeral on the way home from Michigan.  The funeral was very sad and dark and was held in a small catholic church.  It made me really think about the joyfulness there was at Mr. Spiro's and Amy Calderone's funeral and the joy that we have in Jesus.  Even in the death of someone, we're still rejoicing not only for them but yet again for God's great love and mercy.  Ok, everyone!  That's all for now!
