Weekend with the Quam Cousins

Olivia had a lot of fun playing with her cousins in Des Moines at a Ramada Tropics hotel.  We were so glad she got to interact more with her cousins; I can't believe how much they've all grown and changed since Christmas.

Olivia probably had the most fun the first afternoon when we got there, and there weren't so many children and people in the pools.  She did really well at going down the waterslide.  Unfortunately, we didn't get any video or pictures of this because we thought it would carry on all weekend, but it didn't.  With a very busy pool, she wasn't intersted in it anymore.

Snacking with cousin Greta!

Trying her first blended (Non alcoholic :) drink - she was okay with it, until it got real.  then she spit it out, down her chest... typical!

Taking a break from the pool, but still watching the pool!

Snacks with cousin Greta!

Trying to get a pic of these girls together.. it didn't go so great ;-)

Livvy and her mommy...

The Quam cousins.  Livvy didn't want to participate AT ALL, so this was the best we could get.. which is actually pretty decent considering!

Olivia spent a majority of her time at the pool putting on our sandals and attempting to walk around in them.  Between that and people watching - she was pretty content...

We are excited for the next time we do a pool weekend with the Quams!
