July 4, 2020: Dunlap/Stoddard guys on the river

Sebastian's brother and sister and their families came to Albuquerque for their annual sibling reunion. On the 4th of July we took the guys on the river to kayak together, and they had a blast. It would have been much more fun if the water level had been higher, but it keeps dropping due to the heat and very little rain. A few times, Noah got stuck on the sandbanks (so did I), so I got out of my boat to pull his boat back onto the water. It was pretty funny.

June-July 2020: Dunlap boys and Dunlap cousins

Sometime in June: I take the girls a lot more often than I take the boys because they are younger and easier to keep entertained. I started to feel like I should take the boys once in a while, so they wouldn't feel less important. I discovered that they get bored more easily and would prefer to play video games or watch movies than anything else. We don't have a game system yet, but we plan to--after we purchase a TV for upstairs.

Sebastian's brother and sister and their families came to Albuquerque for a sibling reunion. There wasn't much to do because of COVID-19 and our governor's strict social distancing mandates, so I had the whole crew over for dinner and let the cousins play. The kids are precious!

July 2nd: Dunlap cousins enjoy the pirate toys together

We took the dads kayaking on the river with us one morning, which they really enjoyed. I will show those photos in a separate blog post next.
