May 7th Playing with Oma, Aunt Jessica and Daniel in the backyard

Mom, Jessica and Daniel made the drive from St. Charles, IL to Manhattan, KS and arrived late in the evening on May 6th. It was Daniel's first time to Kansas and Jessica's second (she drove down with mom the day Emma was born and they had to drive back that night!) so we were thrilled to have them at our house. We are so grateful to have a full finished basement with plenty of space to have guests! It was fun watching the cousin's interact and have a great time in the backyard.

Daniel and Eric had fun playing with the cold hose water. They were like two peas in a pod. Click on the fourth picture to get an enlargement of a great action shot.

I love this one of them hugging!

The girls just watched the boys play waiting for the warm water to be added to the pool.

Is Erin is teaching Daniel how to throw hand signs? :-)

Aunt Jessica got down and had fun with the kids.
I love my high speed camera!!!

The boys!

Ready? Set?

Go!

Jump!

Until this day, I did not know that Eric even knew about standing up to...well....

Apparently, he was pretty proud of himself and decided to water the grass and then the puddle. It was just too cute and too funny not to grab a few shots.

It was such a fun play time out in the yard. I loved that the children all had such a nice time together. Sweeties! All four of them! And the boys had such a neat bond that they knew they were supposed to be close. I enjoyed the series of water pictures with them together and even the water droplets mid air. Thank you for using that high speed camera. You do give it a run for it's money!
