Aunt KK and Cousin Cass

One of the worst things about living up here is being so far away from the Brumfield part of the family. We were lucky enough to have Aunt KK an cousin Cass come spend the better part of the past week with us. They arrived late Monday night and left Thursday night. And even though Cass says we did "nothing" it was a pretty adventuresome week. Thursday alone involved a trip to Build a Bear, a trolley ride and a carousel ride -or- according to Madie, we went to a bears house, rode a train and rode a horse.
