Cousins and DC!

At the end of May we braved a 5 hour drive to Washington DC to see Brian, Alisha, Jayce and Halli. We not only had an enjoyable time in the car, we had such a good time when we got there! I'm sooooo grateful to Alisha because she took amazing pictures of the entire weekend and shared them with me. She also put together some blog posts and then gave them to me too. So, these posts are here because of her - Thanks so much Alisha!

We had fun playing around the house, going to Six Flags, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, visiting the Washington DC Temple, the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, and swimming!

Avery, Jayce, Caleb and Presley (Halli was sleeping). We attempted this fun looking sleepover... It didn't work out so well the first night. The kids were distraught when Jayce had to go into another room, and it wasn't until after 10:30 pm that everyone finally fell asleep. I guess that's pretty good considering the Syrett's had never really had any kind of sleepover at all!

The girls reading books together. Halli snuggling with me - so fun!

Having a blast jumping from mattress to mattress!

Presley was a little sad, Jayce went to see what was wrong...

He convinced her to come play, they had so much fun dancing together. Jayce thought she was so cute. He would say, "You're pretty!" She would reply "I know..." :)

Watching shows, reading books...

Caleb reading to Jayce in the back seat of the car.

Six Flags! We all had a great time. It was pretty hot and sticky - there were a few water rides that proved to be favorites.

Avery and Halli.

Rollercoaster thrills - pretty intense kid ride if you ask me!

Bugs Bunny!
