So Cousin Rheagan is here, and excitement abounds, mixed with the usual, normal mundane. But how much more thrilling with a cousin in tow. Well, cousins are around a lot. But this is the exotic cousin-type: the Tennessee variety. She comes with her own sweet accent, too.
The first day of our week with Rhea was filled with riding the go-kart. All.Day.Long. I am not really sure if there is any rubber left on the tires. Despite the look of being bundled up against the cold, they were keeping all the mud and field trash off themselves.
Today involved a couple of errands, then a bike ride down to (local cousin) Jill's for an afternoon of swimming. Jackson lost a tooth while there, so queue the tooth fairy for this evening. (I can only hope it is one of the baby teeth the orthodontist wants the dentist to pull in a few weeks.) A few hours later they rode back to our house. Dinner, and now silence. That can be scary. :)
Plans for tomorrow involve packing for a weekend at the Frio, plus a trip to a different pool. One with big waterslides.
first of all - can she drive the go-cart? What a scary thought! next, Tripp is lost without Rhea here. Last, what accent?

Can she drive? It is a big, open field with no obstacles into which to crash....
Accent? None. Not a bit. Certainly not East Tennessee....
Sorry Tripp - not much longer and you can come too.

You all are having so much fun...I can tell from the pics. Hope the tooth fairy was kind to Jackson. Enjoy your day at the pool, which looked interesting from the website.

Tooth fairy did not make it - tooth may have been lost, in the literal sense.
