Dancing with the Cousins

Montana, Loralynn, Andre, and Marcello dress up to go ballroom dancing! (See video below)

After a brief stay back at Oma and Opa Wilson's house for Dan to recover, we took our adjusted flight from Chicago to Los Angeles. We stayed overnight in a hotel then drove to the Montanez house for another fun visit with cousins. We were so excited to be able to stay the night in their new home even though they hadn't finished moving in. Loralynn and Tana jumped right into all the activity of the nine cousins. I tried to get pictures of everyone but the two oldest were scarce (Mondo just had all four wisdom teeth removed and Alicia had college orientation to attend).

Swimming in the pool was a hit and jumping on the trampoline was fun when the sun wasn't blazing. Dressing up Polly Pockets never got old. When kid-sized dress-up clothes came out, I could see the girls light up with excitement!

Is it fun to play in the gravel when it's hot outside? Sure is!
