Fun with cousins and Taylor Reunion!

Drew's cousin, Cory, has been in the hospital for the past couple of weeks. He finally came home yesterday!! Last week, Evan and I took Claire (Cory's sister) to the zoo with us for a couple of hours and then dropped her off at the hospital afterwards. Evan loves hanging out with Claire and they both had lots of fun!! Claire will make a wonderful babysitter for Evan in years to come!

Holding Claire's hand!

Looking at the horse...

Claire fed the giraffe 4 pieces of lettuce! That was her favorite part of the zoo...

Evan's cousins, Hailey and Ty, came to Indiana for a couple of days and Evan had a blast with them as usual. They play so well with him and it's so funny to watch him imitate EVERYTHING they do. I watched them for a couple hours one morning while Rob and Brad golfed and we had lots of fun....

Building a tower...

Playing with chalk and bubbles...

Snack time!!

Over the 4th of July, we hosted a Taylor Reunion at our house. Everyone arrived Friday afternoon/evening and stayed until Sunday... 10 extra people not including us (from Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Indy)... Drew, Evan and I stayed at my parent's house and let everyone else have our house... It was crowded, but we had lots of fun... We basically just hung around the house all weekend.. We ate lots, took several walks, played games, and had a late-night bonfire.... Lots of laughing and lots of reminiscing... It was so neat to see how all our lives have changed since Drew graduated from Taylor 5 years ago. We talked about making it an annual tradition....
