All of us Paulson girls had a fun shopping trip to the local outlet mall where we didn't do any shopping for kids -- just us! It is so much fun to hang out with my sisters. I wish we lived closer to each other so we could me more a part of each others' lives.

It was great to have the adults outnumbering the kids!
Davey had so much fun hanging out with his cousins - and even got to meet a new one this trip: Desiree brought her new little one Tommy (John Thomas) who was only 6 weeks old. He is such a beautiful, sweet little baby.
Lacey and Ben admiring TommyDavey was excited to be inducted into the Paulson grandkid dollar store trip tradition. Grandma and Grandpa Paulson take the grand boys (as they call them) to the dollar store and they each get choose $5 of merchandise. Davey had a blast! (The pictures turned out a little blurry, but they're still fun to look at!)
Serious shopping (and already lots in the basket!)
Michael, Peter and Joseph... decisions, decisions!
Davey enjoyed wearing this hat in the store but it didn't
make the final cut.
Wow, this is overwhelming.
The weather was great while we were in SE Michigan, 70s and 80s, so the boys spent most of their time outside playing. Davey was in heaven to be always outside and have playmates.

we were kids.

Somehow one of the boys got a hold of a bottleful of plastic be-bes from Ben's be-be gun. Davey and his cousins had hours and hours of fun playing with these things. It was amazing to watch how busy it kept them. Ben would scatter them in various places - on the driveway, in the grass - and they'd have fun seeing how many they could pick up. Then they'd make games out of rolling them down the slide in various ways and trying to catch them.
They're so small you can't even spot them in the picture,
but Davey is proud of his cupful of them!

what a FUN trip! i love families! so great that the weather was nice for you too!
I have to tell you -- I am not grateful for the BBs! I have spent WAY too much time picking them up off my floor (though they're restricted to the backyard). But it was tons of fun to see you guys! We love you!
