For our last summer cousins day, the kids made puppets. I found a kit with foam pieces at a craft store, and bought it. Lindsey excitedly made examples of each of the animals that the kids could make. After the kids made their first couple puppets, we realized that there was enough materials to make more, so the kids got really creative and made some wild and mixed-up animals. It has been fun to get together with the family on a weekly basis this summer. The kids definitely looked forward to it, and it provided me with some type of leverage (if you don't get your chores done, you'll not swim with the cousins). I think my favorite part about it all was watching the older kids step up and help the younger ones, realizing that it wasn't all about them.
As tradition goes, Lindsey "beautified" the girls by doing their hair after swimming.
