yankee cousins

we saw and did a lot of cool things, but this is the real reason for the trip. these folks...our cousins.

this was the last morning together and most of us were a bit teary eyed. especially these girls...but they come by it honest. i can still remember crying when i was vivian's age and cathy (natalie's mother) would leave after we spent a week together at our aunt mary's farm.

so....how many days until the next benderday excursion?! ;)
