A visit from our Aussie cousin

Yi Fu and Elliott are in town to attend Elliott's great grandmother's funeral service.  Although this trip was under unfortunate circumstances, the good thing is that Matt and Elliott got to see friends and family too.  Elliott spent a few days at Lao Nian and Lao Yie's house so we had a fun cousin play date on Monday!  Abby and Elliott, the 2 oldest cousins, hit it off really well and played together ALL DAY.  Poor little Lilly and Willow just tried to keep up.  :)  Of course, I took a ton of pictures.  We got to feed the ducks, pick oranges, my girls got to play with boy toys (which they loved!), Elliott got to eat Chick-fil-a AND drink lemonade for the first time, they picked flowers and just enjoyed each other's company.  It was a fun day and by the time we drove home, Abby kept saying she wanted to keep playing with Elliott!

iPad time...something they can all agree on.

My sweet, sweet Lilly baby.

My beautiful niece Willow!

A&E playing!

Love that smile!

I normally don't think my two girls look alike but they do in this picture.  Must just be the angle.  I'm still amazed they have almost the same shade of hair.

Lilly the piano player.

Let's be honest - both my brother and SIL are awesome piano players.  Willow already has a much better chance at mastering this instrument.  :P

Busy busy Grandparents!

Every kid ♥s CFA!

Feeding the ducks is always a win-win for the kids and the ducks/geese.

We may be city folk but because of my mom's orange and lemon tree, they know a bit about "farm" life and how we get our fruits and vegetables.  They love eating what they pick.  :)

My mom and 4 out of 5 grand babies.  We miss you Tillie!

Sweet Elliott offering me a flower.  :)

Chaos in the back yard!  It was like herding cats - but much better!  Cousin time is always fun time!

Everyone has an orange!

Elliott did really well considering he and Lao Yie were severely out numbered by the girls!

Bye Bye Elliott!  We'll see you in a few months!  Poor Lilly was DONE and ready to go home.  Abby and Elliott could easily have played for another few hours!
