We decided to go up to my Aunt Marilyn & Uncle Frank's house for Memorial Day weekend to join them in celebrating my cousins' birthdays. My cousins Jenny, Marcey and Frankie all had birthdays that week. My cousin Jenny was there with her husband and three kids, Marcey was there with her husband and their five foster children and we were there with all three of ours. My parents were also there, as well as several of Frankie's friends from school and work. We spent a good portion of the day Saturday sitting by the pool relaxing. We spent the night Saturday and Sunday morning Marcey's two former foster kids, Cory and Kyle (twins), came with their mom, brother and cousins. We were also celebrating Cory and Kyle's birthday. We had 15 children on Sunday afternoon - most of whom were swimming!
Marcey's current foster children include three girls around Hannah's age (Lexi, Haley and Destiny) and two boys around Kyle's age (Ethan and Austin). Jenny has two boys, ages 7 and 5 (Quinton and Chance) and a 5-month-old girl (Kayleigh). Cory and Kyle just turned 9 and their cousins Zaide and Bray were around Hannah's age. It may seem overwhelming to have that many children in one place but it was great! They all entertained each other! The girls played ring-around-the-rosies while the boys made "music" on the piano. A couple of times, while they were all playing together in the back room, I heard a loud chorus of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" from several cheerful voices!
