Cousins #twoweeksonwolfeisland

So, this was really the reason for the two weeks on Wolfe Island. To make sure we were here while my nieces were here.

I’m sure those of you who have cousins, will agree, there’s just something special about them … and, unfortunately, while I grew up with a heap of cousins within a four-hour drive of me, my kids’ cousins are now in Wales and British Columbia.

You might wonder if an 11- and 13-year-old boy really want to spend time with six- and seven-year-old girls?

Yes …

When you’re short, it always helps to have long-legged cousins …

Because it’s more fun when everyone’s included.

The big ones might help the little ones get places they can’t reach, but the little ones can remind the big ones how much fun it is to make a sand castle (and, funny how the big ones do most of the work once they get started …)

It was great to see my nieces back in Ontario, back on the island, and back with their cousins.

If I have my way, next time we see them will be at Whitewater – their local ski hill in BC.
