About the time the boys were finished at the nature center, I noticed the zipline group was coming to the last platform – which was close to the nature center.

2 (26)I walked around the lake to get better pictures. Lots of little frogs made plopping sounds as they jumped into the water as I walked by.

2 (46)We always have buttered noodles on doggie roast night.

2 (47)After supper Jesse went through my Cousin’s Week cupboard, looking for something to do and found this spin art machine.

It was another fun day. There is still one more morning to go before the end of Cousin’s Week 2015. Come back tomorrow night to see what we did for a grand finale.
