Super "Cool" Bob, The Snow Cone Man!

We spent a few hours at the park yesterday with Cousin Bob, visiting us from Minnesota. Everyone ADORES Bob! There is almost always someone hanging on his neck or sitting in his lap. To top it all off, he helped everyone stay cool with snow cones. I am sure it was a day the kids will NEVER forget. Thank you Bob!!! We love you lots and lots!!!

Here are some of the snow cone faces. I thought I got everyone, but noticed I am missing Madi and Daniel. Oh well.

Tori glaring at her sisters as they enjoy their snow cones.

Fun at the park with the Ely gang and Cousin Bob

Here are a bunch of random pictures of fun at the park. What a blessing it is to live close to so many cousins and family members. It was great to get together and to keep Bob entertained as well. The weather was gorgeous; beautiful Arizona winter weather in the 70's.

Handstands Anyone?

While at the park we had to have a handstand contest, of course. This is Dandi and Jessi doing their practice handstands before the big contest.

Stretching out. Loosening up.

Go Sam! Get that leg up there!

Such grace Sara!

Ouch... Hurry up take the picture!

A line up for the camera. The competitors are:

Sam, Jessi, Dandi, Lilli, Tim and Sara

Dandi won every time except for this one. Jessi hung in there just a bit longer. I got three shots of this round as proof. It was a photo finish.

Starting out.

Tim, Lilli and Sara are down, Sam is on the way down.

Tim went back up, but if you look at Jessi just behind him she still has two hands down and her legs almost down. Dandi is already down to one arm and a leg down. Jessi finally triumphs!

They were all doing awesome. It was a lot of fun.

Little Purple Polka Dots

My darling little nieces, Dandi's baby Nellie and Jessi's baby Tori, were wearing matching outfits at the park. We had to have a mini photo shoot with them. Tori loves to tackle Nellie, but Nellie takes it pretty well. Probably because she has 4 older brothers loving her all the time. They were SO adorable!

These shots with Bob are so precious. He is such a girl magnet!
