Growing up in NY, we got together twice a year with my Aunt and Uncle down in Pennsylvania. I have so many memories of Thanksgiving dinners, Easter Egg hunts and cabin vacations in the Adirondacks with them. When I came to live out west, I didn't see them for many years. So it was wonderful when my Aunt sent me a message saying that my cousin had a fencing tournament out here. We invited them to stay with us and had a great time!
We went up to the cabin for a few days, since they came over a long weekend.
My aunt and cousin both said how much fun it was to just play in some good snow.
So... the children buried my cousin! Supposedly, he asked for it??
We went sledding many times and even made a pretty good jump.
Here is my Aunt with Cloudburst. My Aunt is a brilliant lawyer and engineer and loves to promote math and science, especially for girls. She coaches a math team at my cousin's high school.
She was so wonderful with our kids. She sat down with each of them and just got them so inspired and excited about math!
She even told me about an awesome summer camp called Camp Invention that our kids are now signed up for.
After a couple days of fun, it was time for my cousin's fencing tournament.
He did fairly well for his age and we all loved seeing a new sport (even if we didn't understand how the scoring works).
