Cousin Fun Part 2 and Happy Early Bday Sophia

Here's a few more shots from Salem pond.  Sophia in her dress swimming
and one happy baby!
Sophia wanted to celebrate her birthday with her cousins who don't live here so we had a little early birthday party for her.  She requested a pink bunny cake.
 We got some PEZ dispensers to say thanks for celebrating with us.
Josh and Jake driving the Barbie jeep.
 We also put the pools out and let the kids swim.  They had a blast.
 Cake time! 
 Apparently Mabel needed all three plates as well as the leftover cake.
 Everyone's favorite party game was "Uncle Brad throws everyone in the pool" (until Sophia cried because she wasn't ready to go in - good thing it was her party and she could cry if she wants to).
Before everyone left we decided to get a shot of the cousins that were there.  Here's all 10 of them!  from the left there's Josh, Lucas (both Melissa's), James, Kate (Both Eliza's), Jake (Melissa's), Bruce (Eliza's), Mabel, Lilly, Sophia and Jane (Eliza's). These are just the kids that my sisters and I have had.  It sure looks like a lot when you put them all together!  It was hard to get them to all look and smile at the camera so finally Brad said "everyone look at the ceiling" (silly Bruce who didn't)
 "look at the front door" (silly Bryce who didn't again)
 "look at Mabel"
and finally "look at the camera and smile" (and now Bruce doesn't look - silly guy).
After all the celebrating my sister and I (and Lucas) all went to the chocolate for a treat.  It was so fun.  Melissa was pretty excited about her Kazookie! JK
 I enjoyed this raspberry Italian soda which may or may not have been accompanied by a strawberry shortcake. 
Overall it was such a fun time and so fun to spend time with my sisters and their kids.  Cousins are the best and so are sisters!
