Trip to NJ and NY

Life has been so busy lately!  Possibly a bit busier than normal...as such we are really behind on updates!  So, here we go trying to catch up...

Last month we took a trip to NJ and NY to visit with family.  The drive was long, but Björn helped drive!

Odin and Björn got to spend time lots of time with family and they loved it.  In NJ Odin and Björn spent time with their cousins Sydney and Brooke.

Sydney especially loved spending time with Bjorn.

And, as usual Odin and Brooke oscillated from loving each other to not really liking each other;-).  We had a big cook out at Uncle Brandon and Aunt Mary's house.  We got to see so many family members.  And they got to see Björn for the first time!

While in NJ we also went to the beach.  Odin, Sydney, Brooke, and Trevor (Al's son) found some other cool kids to play with and they all worked hard together building a "river."

Björn hung out and enjoyed the sand and water.

Al brought a kite and Odin learned how to fly it!

While in NY we spent the day and Uncle Jonah's and Aunt Lynn's house.  They have a very nice pool.  Aaron taught Odin some tricks including jumping off the diving board!

Uncle Jonah waits in the water to catch Odin after he jumps in!

And then Odin got comfortable and started jumping by himself!  He's so brave!
