More Cousin Fun in Utah!

We were also able to see some of Josh's side of the family while in Utah. We hung out for a day with Uncle Mike & Aunt Katie and Joe & Emily and their 5 kids. I don't think McKay talked to me even once the whole time we were with them he was so entertained by his cousins. Matthew, on the other hand, was right in the middle of the worst ear infection of his entire life and wouldn't let me leave his sight (this is pretty evident in the picture with his cousins. He is crying because I put him down to take the picture).
McKay and Matthew were able to go to a place called Jumpin' Jacks with Joe & Emily's kids and then again later with Doni and her kids. I tried to take pictures but the kids were all running and jumping around so wildly they all turned out to be just blurs. We did get one really cute pic of Matthew and his cousin Kaylana. She was so cute with him - all he wanted to do at Jumpin' Jacks was run a lap over & over around a particular play structure and she took care of him and helped him run around and around it. He really loves his girl cousins: Kaylana, Aubrey, Ashlynn, Dallie, and baby Lily. He is just such a tenderheart and he loves that they baby him and give him so much attention and love. McKay prefers hangin' with the older boy cousins: he loves wrestling and playing Super Mario Kart with 8-yr-old Collin, teasing 8-yr old Joseph, bonding with 7-yr-old Ben and 3-yr-old Jeffrey. His favorite activity, though, was attempting to gouge out 2-yr-old Dallie's eyes while I wasn't looking. He told me he was mean to her because she was "mean to Matthew". Good to know that Matthew the tenderheart will always have a bully big brother who will defend him.
