Sarah and Daniel's October Visit

My sister and my nephew flew all the way from Washington state just to hang out with our family for 12 days while my brother-in-law is deployed with the Air Force. We had an absolute blast. From special outings like going to the National Aquarium in Baltimore to normal every day outings like stopping at Trader Joe's to pick up groceries, we loved every minute. And I have tons of pictures from their time here. Cousin photos are irresistible! Two boys born within one year of each other makes for great photo ops. We love you, Sarah and Daniel!

Sisters with boys (who were more interested in dolphins and toddling around than in getting photographed)

Daniel enjoyed the dolphin show

Jon carried both boys for awhile, what a stud! (And that green thing is a kid-leash!)

It was so fun to be so close to the animals at the aquarium
