Visit with Cousin Drew

Eric and I took the opportunity to take a little road trip with JUST Madeline to see my brother and his wife and their son, Drew in Greenville. Madeline LOVES her cousin Drew, and Eric and I love to hang out with my brother and his wife. Win-win! We spent the morning at Drew's final rec basketball game, and Madeline made us all laugh with her constant question, "Is Drew done playing basketball YET?" It bordered on funny and whining. Eric and I enjoyed watching Drew play some good D and score a few points for his team.

Amelia enjoyed a happy, teething free weekend with my parents! Grandma and Grandpa got to spend a fun weekend with Miss Amelia! :)

Back to Greenville: Later in the evening, we had a wonderful dining experience! Greg and Angela made fondue for us, and it was nothing short of delish! It was Madeline's first fondue experience, and she loved it. Drew loved showing Madeline the in's and out's of the fondue process.


Drew so kindly posed for my picture...he was ready to cook and eat!

An attempt to get a cute cousin photo...Drew cooperated and well, Madeline, not so much! Drew is surrounded by girl cousins, so he's used to the girl antics. Sweet boy is such a good sport!

Then, we said, "Make a funny face." Typical 8 year old and typical 3 year old, I suppose!

Finally, the CHOCOLATE fondue. Madeline Stewart was in serious heaven --- melted chocolate, marshmallows, pound cake, strawberries, rice Krispies treats, nutter butters, pineapple, and bananas...this girl would have eaten all night if we hadn't stopped her out of tummy ache fear!

Nothing like a little game of Twister to top off the weekend. Another Madeline first. It was pretty hysterical considering Madeline doesn't know left/right nor does she have the coordination for this game. Competitive Drew was not super thrilled with Madeline's lack of "skills". Amusing and maddening for both sets of parents/cousins...luckily we're family, so it's all good! :)

What a fun weekend for us. Madeline felt like a big girl going on a trip with us, and it was reported that Amelia LOVED being the center of attention back in Lexington!
