Visiting more family

While visiting my parents, we spent a day driving a couple of hours away to visit my cousin Colette and her family. Thomas wanted to see them again and we wanted them to meet Emma. I spent a good part of my childhood in this little town and it's always lovely to visit again. I grew up surrounded by a bunch of cousins, on the shores of a bay, running freely as kids did (do?) in small towns. My father and his brother married 2 sisters so these cousins (6 of them) in particular are practically siblings and a few other uncles and their families lived there too, so there was a whole bunch of us! :-) Anyhow, the kids loved their day in a small town...there's nothing like it. :-) It's so much more real and relaxing than city life...not that I'd trade city life, but I could definitely spend a few weeks in a small town every summer - maybe we will one day! :-)
