The last couple of years have become increasingly difficult to plan and carry out our Morgan cousins' weekends the way we did when the kids were younger. We were very lucky to find a weekend this month where everyone was available to meet in White Oak at MeMe and Grand Daddy's house for some much-needed cousin time. We didn't make any elaborate plans -- we just hung around, enjoyed the time together, and took as many pics as the kids would tolerate!
Friday night, the kids stayed up late and waited for all their cousins to arrive. One of their favorite things about cousins' weekends is sleeping in the big bunk room at MeMe and Grand Daddy's house. It holds 4 twin bunk beds, 1 toddler bed, a queen bed, and 2 huge closets of TOYS! What cousin wouldn't love staying there? :-)
On Saturday, we joined cousins Karlie and Preslee for a morning of play time at Kids Station in Longview. It's like a McDonalds play area on steroids. The kids had a blast; Connor did NOT want to leave. I abandoned my photo duty and enjoyed catching up with the fam.
It was a nice afternoon so we all ate lunch outside. Afterwards, we gave Karlie and her best friend Ally babysitting duty while the girls went shopping at all the local children's resale shops. It was such a fun afternoon shopping with the girls, and we all scored some fun resale items for the kids. When we returned from shopping, we learned that MeMe and Uncle Jeb had to perform paramedic duties on Kaitlynn. She had accidentally sprayed whiteboard marker remover spray in her eyes, so they had to forcibly wash her eyes out with water in the sink. She looked pitiful but we were grateful for the nurse/paramedic on duty, ha!
On Sunday, we went to church, snapped some photos, and then escaped the rainy afternoon by watching the Houston Texans on TV. Grand Daddy impressed the Courtrights with his Houston Texans t-shirt in support of our team. We'll convert all the Cowboy fans yet, ha!

Oh my goodness. So, so many great pictures of all those sweet kiddos. I'm impressed with how many good pictures you got of all the kiddos. What troopers!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the pictures of them holding the letters. I might have to steal that idea for our gang! And the "grandkid room"-- can I stay there?How fun is that room. I can only imagine how fun this is for all the cousins. And your parents...they must be so thrilled to have you guys all together for your annual weekend. What a fun tradition for all of you!
And poor little Kaitlynn and those eyes. Glad you had some trained professionals on-hand to help out. I still have to smile at the fact that Connor is the only boy in that bunch. Poor guy!
I love that you guys do this year after year. What fun family time!
:-)
Looks like fun, as always. Love the instagram pics.
