Norton Cousin Fun

Blythe and Brandt have been involved in several different Norton Family activities over the past couple of weeks.  Blythe's cousins, Gracie and Cameron, are in town, and Dawn has wanted them to be able to play with Blythe as well as McKenna and Grayson.  As always, Dawn is super good about documenting all that is happening, then sharing all the pictures with me.  Here, in brief, is what they've been doing.

On June 27, Blythe and Brandt joined lots of Nortons to go ice skating.  They had a great time.  I wasn't sure Brandt would want to go, but he did and they both reported what fun they had.  The pictures certainly seem to indicate that.

As if ice skating wasn't fun enough, Dawn then invited the kids to come swimming at the Lindon pool and have a backyard camp out sleepover last night.  The fun never stops!  Brandt and Kent were going on their first 11-year-old scout camp out (see separate post), so Blythe was beyond thrilled to have something fun to do, too. And to be with cousins! And to swim! And to sleep in a tent!  It was almost too much excitement for her to stand.  Dawn reported that Blythe was loving being with her cousins, and we didn't get her back today until well after lunch.  How nice to be wanted and loved.

Horse racing

I'm not sure who won.

Then on to flamingo racing.

Still no idea who won.

And then to snow cone eating.

Everybody won!

Camp set up.

Dawn is a brave woman to sleep out with all those little people.

And lots of pictures of fun at the Lindon pool.
