I am totally joking about all of the summer adventures being over (apparently). I forgot that we had a wonderful 'Welcome Home' party for my cousin to travel to in Bellevue, Washington. It was a bit of a long day-trip, in hind-sight we should've made it a two-dayer, since we didn't get home till 10:15pm and the kids stayed awake the entire trip. But, the travel was well worth it. The Bellevue Botanical Gardens were beautiful, and it was so lovely to hang out with extended family. I only got a handful of pictures, since my camera battery died, but you can see the small album here:

And, my favourite little cousin shot:
