As always, the best part of family vacations is just hanging out with family. Our loving family members are such willing playmates. Both boys loved Grandma's horsey rides!

It was so cozy sitting on Grandma and Grandpa's laps for storytime.
Although it was nice to cuddle with them sometimes even if it wasn't storytime. We love you, Grandma and Grandpa!
Uncle Jon knew just how to make the boys laugh-- teaching them how to do push-ups,
or wrestling them to the ground.
We love you, Uncle Jon!
Aunt Chelsea was even able to find time amidst her busy hostessing job to get down on the floor and play, too.
She was great at giving plane rides,
and at playing peek-a-boo.
We love you, Aunt Chelsea!
Aunt Beth was a creative playmate. She built all kinds of block towers for the boys to knock over, collected many many blocks in her lap that the boys handed to her,
and even called them on the telephone. We love you, Aunt Beth!
Uncle Andy was an active playmate, too. He was great at corralling all the boys' stuffed animals (as Cody continually handed him one after another).
He also did one of the boys' favorite things-- turned them upside down! We love you, Uncle Andy!
Aunt Kim also knows how to brighten our boys' spirits! Sometimes she patiently listened to them and watched them play,
and other times she jumped right in for some hands-on play. Her plane rides were SO fun,
and her Jaden-rolls made us laugh 'til we sighed!
Even Mommy and Daddy had to jump in on this great idea. We love you, Aunt Kim!
Uncle Matt built the best race tracks!
And he even accepted Jaden's wide open kisses right on the mouth. What a great uncle! We love you, Uncle Matt!
As our boys get older, it's more and more enjoyable to watch them interact with their cousins, too. All three little ones certainly share some of the same interests!
Cousin Ian is very experienced with tickle-time!
There was even quite a bit of time that all 4 boys played nicely all together, too. We love you, cousins Ian and Ryan!
Aunt Amy and Uncle Jason enjoyed time with their godson, Ian-- reading,
and building with his new Lego sets. We were very impressed with how focused and determined Ian was to finish these Lego projects. He is quite the little builder!
We also enjoyed seeing Ian's preschool notebook and hearing all about his various projects and artwork. We can tell he's a great little student!
Ryan even let us hug him and cuddle with him a bit more this trip.
What a lovable little guy!
Whether we're all just lounging out,
laughing with the little ones (I believe they were dancing here...),
or playing games (a Schleicher family-favorite!),
time spent with family is always such a blessing! Our family members are such wonderful Christian role models for our little boys and a joy to be with. We always treasure our time with you, Schleicher family. We love you and thank God for you!
