Cousin Maya visits!

I've been working on this post literally since September.  Blogger has NOT cooperated!  But, I am finally posting regardless!

We had so much fun when Rayan, Dips and Maya came to visit that the fun can be contained no more!

Kaiden and Maya had a great time playing together!!

  

 

 

While they were here, we did a lot of lounging...

We thought the kids looked very cute in their jammies.

Even with Aunt Dips dancing all around, this was the best smiles we got in the same shot.

But we also went a lot of places!

We borrowed a friends "big" vehicle for a weekend so we could all fit together.  One of our favorite outings.....

....A day at the Zoo!  (due to my blogger woes, these are in no particular order!)
The Dillons at the Houston Zoo

Kai really enjoyed watching this monkey.

But his favorite was the elephant!

Looking at a lizard.

 

We could get the boys attention, but the kids were fixed on the lizard.

The girls and the kids

The boys and the kids.

Kai and Gigi checking out the lion.

It was a VERY hot afternoon, so we tried to cool off with some cold drinks.  I gave Kai some ice for the first time.  He liked it, but made this face every time!

Maya in the fish tunnel.

The kids both LOVED the aquarium.  I think we could have skipped the hot outdoors and stayed here in the air conditioning all day and the kiddos would have been just fine. 

Maya and Rayan cooling off in the mist fan.

One tired girl.

Some more pictures of our play date with the Abers and their kiddos.  Toys and babies galore!

Kira and her girls

Kai and Ali playing.  Ali was very helpful, always giving him toys!

We also had fun just chillin in the backyard.

They loved playing in the water

 

Kaiden wasn't quite sure what to think when Maya decided to join him in "his" pool...

...but decided it was pretty fun to share!

This post is getting very long, so I'll save our NASA expedition for another day, that is if blogger will allow!
