Cousins!

After a week in Madison, we also got to show Jen, Nathan, Ben & Ellie around our neck of the woods here in Rochester. Though they had their share of sibling-like fights, all in all the cousins seemed to really enjoy each others' company.

We went for a little hike at Quarry Hill...

...to go letterboxing! Here they all are, having just found the letterbox :-)

Mmmmm...yummy lunch after a nice hike

Simon particularly enjoyed getting to swim with them just before saying goodbye. The "hotel swimming pool" has featured prominently in his pretend play ever since!
