I have a knack for finding cousin buddies, whether on my mom or dad's side of the family. It helps that there are boys close to my age, and it's probably no coincidence that they're very active and competitive like me. We are related after all.
A list of my faves:
1. Ping Pong. I got in some quality playing time with Braden and Jaren, two guys I seriously wish lived closer than they do. They play and talk and watch sports the way I do!
2. Monopoly. I'm in love with this game and can't stop asking Mom and Dad to get me my own to play at home. I learned the ropes from Kati and Solana, who patienty played with all us younger cousins.
3. The waves and water guns.
4. S'mores and puppy chow.
5. Hangin' on the beach with the whole family.
