Cousin Adventures, Part I

While the boys and I stayed five days in Sacramento without Jeremy, we had a ton of fun with their twin cousins!! Here's my effort to document our adventures with them.
Big Play Place 
Katie found this fun center for kids that has lots of climbing stuff. 
At first the kids were hesitant to play. We tried playing with them, but were told by management that we couldn't because we did not have socks on our feet. Gramz came to the rescue by going on a shopping quest to find cheep socks for us to wear. (The play place was far from home). As soon as we had our own socks, the kids played with us on everything. We had a blast! 
Tanner worked really hard to build bridges and houses with these foam blocks. They were heavy!
Everyone climbed and climbed around these jungle gyms and went down the rocket-speed slide.
Even Grandma climbed!!
Tanner made it up to this net tunnel. He climbed out as quick as he was in. I don't blame him because it was pretty scary!
There were lots of places to hide.
We all had a great time!!
Buzy Kidz Town
Katie found another cool place that was a mini town for toddlers. Our kids first shopped at the grocery store.
Everyone was excited to have something to push.
We were so lucky to have my Aunt Lorna join us at Buzy Kidz. Tanner was the doctor and took care of Lorna at the health clinic.
They had bikes and cars to ride and an "engineering room" with cars and trucks and tools to play with.
My niece was so adorable with her toy stroller. She put on a princess dress from the "costume studio" and strolled her baby all around town, over and over again! 
We went to Chevy's for lunch. Since it was Tuesday, kids got free meals!
Then we came home for the older three to take a nap. Dallin got some one-on-one time with Auntie Lorna!
It was a super fun day with the kids and especially fun to be with Aunt Lorna! I love her so much!!
Zavoral Toyland
Grandma Z has collected a lot of toys that were all perfect for these little guys. Our children were well entertained by this toyland, usually until late hours of the night! 
While the kids played, we adults sat back and were fully entertained. We cheered on any child that went down the slide, made silly faces when someone made eye contact with us, pushed kids away from our laptops and phones, yelled at the dog to stop eating the kids' snacks, scolded the children for feeding the dog their snacks, and tried sneaking into the kitchen to eat left overs and treats without the kids noticing. Tanner took the following pictures of his adult audience.
These cousins sure had fun together! Stay tuned for Part II of their adventures!
