Cousins!

It's fun to have cousins in town, especially when they are also close friends. Four of our cousins were here recently. Between their 4 girls and our 4 girls, we usually manage to make lots of noise and do a number of unusual things. Some pictures (you will note that most of the unusual things are accomplished by the younger six):

Swimming in the canal. Ashley and Leslie, in the Blue Barrel Boats, are pushed/pulled upstream by Leanne, Sarah, Anna, and Rebecca.
Preparing to launch! The girls floated down the canal in tubes. Left to right: Rebecca, Ashley, Leslie, Sarah, Anna, Leanne.
The Sweet Six started a bed and breakfast. Here's their beautifully set table, complete with menus.
With their tips from the Sweet Six Bed and Breakfast, the girls stocked up on candy and had a midnight bash in a tent made of sheets and chairs.
Inside the tent:

All of us right before they left. The matching skirts will be the subject of the next picture post...

Yay, you got 8 skirts finsihed! =D They look so cute!

And wow, I can really tell you all are related! I'm going to take guess that they are from your Dad's side?

Thanks--I'm looking forward to posting more pics of them.

They're actually on Mom's side, and I guess we do look alike. :) They are the daughters of one of Mom's younger brothers--the one who was in Calcutta for a while.
