The kids and I headed up to B'ham on Friday to hang out with two of Lauren and Ben's 2nd cousins, they had the best time! Chloe is almost 13 and she is amazing! So fun to talk to, so nice, and FABULOUS with the kids. Lauren adored her.
Ben spent a lot of his time racing cars, shocker.
This guy, Zander, is the toughest, fastest, biggest 5 year old I've ever met. He wanted me to chase him and I couldn't catch the kid (I know that's not saying much but still...). I think we're going to be able to say we knew him when, I see an athletic career in his future! It was nearly impossible to get a picture because he is on the move.
Oma bought all the kids "squirmees" which are just like little fluffy worms that have an "invisible" string tied to them and you are supposed to put the string in your pocket and walk around and it looks like the squirmee is following you. The kids got a kick out of them, well everyone but Ben. Ben thought they were alive and he was FREAKING out every time he'd turn around and see it behind him. I'm talking full on screaming at the top of his lungs, shaking, and clinging to me for dear life. He just couldn't get it through his head that they weren't alive. I wish I had it on video, it'd be a you tube sensation for sure:)
He'd be brave for a few minutes and run with it, but then freak out again! Of course he insisted on keeping the string in his pocket. So when the squirmee followed him to the dinner table he FREAKED out all over again! We finally took the squirmee away. It was so so funny!
Lauren loved them! Such a fun visit with Oma's side of the family on a really great sunny day!

Thanks so much for bringing the kids up, Val. I think they had a fun day and I was relieved to make it through the day without cracked heads or broken limbs.
