MY NEPHEW SAM

Sam and his mom and dad visited us for Warrior's graduation, which was June 12th. They arrived the 13th for Warrior's graduation. Sam lives in NY and they were still in school. They stayed with us for a week after everyone left! They all flew back to NY, on his birthday June 21st, he wanted to stay just another day and we promised him he could come back a week later. He stayed with us for 3 short weeks.

It was so much fun having him with us. He is one of the easiest kids to get along with and easy going! I love those type of personalities. I also loved that my children got to know their cousin even better. What a treat it was for us to have him.

We took him with us to the Solomon reunion as well as to the beach and he loved it. I loved that he fit in with the Solomon cousins and they treated him like he was just another one of the family! My kids have great cousins on both sides.

Our summer has been busy but fun!

Some fun times in the life of Sam!






Sam has also wanted to do the slip and slide that we made from our camping tarp. It finally rained again but it was a quick down pour, but they still had fun!
We miss you Sammy!

I bet it was three weeks that will stay with him for a long time! Time spent with family is what eternal memories are made of!

Looks like fun! I remember going 'home to Oregon' to the farm my Mom was raised on and staying for 2 weeks most summers. It was so much fun to hang with my cousins and Grandparents and do stuff that we 'city kids' never got to do.

Sam will enjoy the memories he made with all of you for the rest of his life! Glad you all made it so special for him.

I love when cousins come to visit. We have had one cousin come to visit each summer for ten years...staying from one week up to 22 days. Her little sister has joined her for the last 4 years. I go out of my way to make it super fun...we do things every day to make the visit special. Well, unfortunately because we did not let Manga Dork go camping with her family (and the 16 year old boys they decided to take...not sure if you read that story on my blog) we are being "punished" and they say their kids can not come stay with us. I don't think they realize they are only "punishing" their own kids. Some people are so ignorant! Sorry to vent on your comments...
