Y'all, cousin time, COUSIN TIME! Wow! It was fantastic, it was fun, it was adventurous, it was hilarious, it was sweet, it was hot, it was busy, it was AWESOME! So many moving parts to make our 16 days together amazing but it worked. It all worked and we had an fantastic time!
Team Tully and the PA crew met in the Jefferson National Forest in Virginia for some camping and hiking and exploring! This area is gorgeous and at this time of year so very green and such a great meeting spot for us all! We wandered and explored our hearts out.
We did a boulder hike which was awesome! The kids especially loved clambering and climbing these massive rocks. It's kind of like a "choose your own adventure" scenario because it all depends on which path you take. It was great! A massive boulder field on the side of the mountain and we made from the bottom to the top! (a subsequent photo shows this boulder field from a distance).

Amazing, right?!
Laser tag in the woods with Uncle L!
Mit and L found a great place along the James River and the Appalachian Trail for an afternoon swim. A family passing by with bathing suits and towels recommended this spot so the kids could jump off the bridge pilings. Wow! Brave kiddos indeed! They had a blast!
You had to use a rope to get out of the water. So cool! Unfortunately, I don't think this photo shows the highest point from which they were jumping. Fearless.
After 2 days of hiking in VA we all headed back to our house to meet up with the rest of the family for a full family gathering full of love and laughter!
Evelyn was quick to join in on the cousin play!
Thanks to Aunt Molly there we tie dyed shirts for everyone!! Such a fun project for the kiddos. : -)
Evelyn getting in on the Pokemon action. So sweet!
