KJ and Evelyn, Almost 6 Years Old!

I was so thankful we were able to meet up with my cousin Sheri and her sweet boys at the Cider Hill apple orchard this weekend.  Now that our almost-birthday twins are in kindergarten all day, every day, it's a little more difficult to find time to hang out :(

Before they arrived, my girl spent some time decorating "kindness rocks" to hide.  She sure loves painting!

And it was a super-hot day, so we got a cider slush to cool off a bit.

Once Sheri and her boys got there, we hopped on the wagon to head out to the orchard.  Evelyn LOVED being a helper with precious little Harry.

And his ornery big brother was cracking me up with the apples he picked.  Have you ever seen a cuter little apple?

Not so sure these boys should be trusted with the apple picker tool!

Could he be any cuter?

We got a couple of sunny pics of our birthday kiddos as we walked around the orchard.

Off to fill our bags!

I think we got ourselves a peck of apples!

We rode the wagon back and ALL got cider slushes.  They were good, and only $1, so why not have another?!?

Then our almost-6 year-olds had fun on the swings and watching the ducks.

Hugs all around when it was time to go!

And a FULL afternoon had my girl asleep in the car within minutes on our drive home.

I'm still in a bit of denial that Evelyn and KJ will be 6 this week.  I still see them like this:

Here's a picture collage I made for their first birthdays; such sweet friends they are!

And here are pics through the last few years. . .

 And our big kindergartners, almost 6 years old!

I'm so thankful we were able to get together to celebrate these special kiddos! There's something pretty special about sharing your birthday with your cousin!
