Rubby's House

Whenever we can, my sister (Noelle) and I try to get the kids together for Saturday playdates. It is especially fun for Gracie to go to 'Rubby's house' because they have a cool play structure in their backyard. One of the times we went to see them this summer, it was pretty hot outside so we set up a mini waterslide with Rubie's dinosaur pool. They had a blast!







Although he's a bit too big for the kiddie pool, Brenden was a great sport. He hung out with the adults and had fun watching the little girls play. Here's our favorite 10-year old muggin' for the camera:



After splashing in the pool for awhile, it was time for a refreshing snack:



The rest of the day, the kids rode bikes:





... drew on the sidewalk:



... and played ball:



Once inside, Rubie showed Gracie her impressive mask collection. Here she is being scary:



... and silly:



Gracie got in on the dress-up action, too, with these stylish shades:



Luckily, it wasn't long before the cousins were together again. It was just a few weekends later when Rubie came to our house for a sleepover! Those pics are coming soon...
