Memorial Day 2010
Atticus & His Cousin Max (Umprompted exuberant affection (-:) 
Dietrich, Atticus & Max with Candy after the train ride
The boys -- even Lincoln! -- went on these airplanes about 4 times in a row. They switched who they sat with each time.
Lincoln was so brave -- what a happy and "game-for-anything" little fellow!
Dietrich & Lincoln went on this kids version of "The Drop"...The guy running the ride was amazing -- so much enthusiasm and patience. I hope he works with kids in his "other life" off-season. Dietrich was so brave with Atticus just excited about everything. I love how much gladness Atticus brings to life and how it often helps my moodier Dietrich experience happy things too. 
My nephew Max knows his limits (-: -- He is much more cautious but plays so well with all of his cousins. Here he quite happily watches with Grandma Nancy as Dietrich & Atticus ride the ride.
This is the craziest ride the boys wanted to try. I couldn't believe Atticus & Dietrich were big enough to ride it -- but they could if Brad went with them ( I was happy to be pregnant and thus exempt from riding anything wilder than the semi-truck kiddie train with Lincoln & Max). So Brad bravely went with each of them. He came off the second time woozy, but amazed at the boys.
Tired, hot, & very handsome Dietrich
Max & Kara, my Sister-in-Law
This was poor Dietrich's reaction to much of the water fun -- He hates water in his face and wet swim trunks -- again, poor guy, he is just too, too much like his mama.
Dietrich taking a "breather" with Grandma Nancy, Great-grandma Trellis, and Great-Aunt Kay
Brad & Dietrich playing "tennis" -- probably Dietrich's favorite part of the the back yard games.
(Yes, Dietrich is wearing plastic, yellow Mr.Potato Head glasses.)
The best group shot of the cousins Kara could snag. Oh dear.
The ever-serious Ivy breaks out in a smile for her daddy Brian -- way to catch it, Kara!!!
My nephew Max and niece Ivy
