From David and Rachel's house we drove 45 minutes south to Sharpsburg to Chad and April and Gage's house. Gage could hardly wait to see his cousins. He had been waiting for "his Clara Mae" and "Baby Oliver". The last time Gage saw Oliver he was a baby. Gage had yet to meet baby Isabel. Of course he loved her and quickly told his mom and dad he wished he had a baby sister.
Uncle Chad treated us to the Build-a-Bear Workshop. Clara and Ollie were so excited to go through this process. Clara named her bear "Violet" and Ollie named his bear "Paws." We didn't buy any clothes to go on the bears, which Clara desperately wants ( birthday present idea!) 
Isabel got in some good aunt and uncle lap time.
Clara lost her 2nd tooth of the trip (5 in all) at Gage's house.

Frankly, we were glad she would not be a "snaggle-tooth" for Amy's wedding.
Yes, they watched movies together, but the cousins also had good outdoor play time on the bikes and the 4 wheeler, with the dog and cat, and walking through the woods.
Isabel's language seemed to take off during this holiday. She now says "eye", "nose", "mouth" and tried to pronounce names like Silas( sounded like ice), April and Gage. She very clearly now says "Ollie." One of her most frequently used words (besides "mama") is "more" except it sounds like "moy."
