Last weekend, Jake and I headed to Gainesville to stay with Nana and Big T for the special occasion of Cohen's 4th birthday party. Jake had really been looking forward to seeing Cohen and going to this party so he could barely wait until Saturday morning. Cohen's birthday was full of water fun in his backyard. Here's Jake running across the slip 'n slides...
There were also some cool relay races. This was Jake's team. As you can see, he's the smallest. He seemed excited and ready to participate, but when the time came, he gave his turn away. Oh well, all that matters is that he had fun, and I know he did!
They also played with water balloons and this big parachute...
The big hit of the party was this homemade water slide. They hosed the slide down and the kids ended in a baby pool. They all loved it! Here's Jake going for a turn...
Here's a pic of the cute cousins. One of Cohen's friends came up to him, looked at Jake, and immediately asked if they were brothers. I'm sure this won't be the last time they get mistaken for brothers...
As you can tell from the pics, Jake was at Cohen's side pretty much the whole time. This is the way Jake wanted it, and he's fortunate to have such a wonderful big cousin that also enjoys him too. Cohen did a great job of playing with and including Jake even with his other older friends being all around. We are very thankful for the special, sweet friendship that is forming b/t them.
After all the guests left, Cohen and Jake had the backyard to themselves, and they played for awhile on the slide with Big T. Later that night, we asked Cohen what his favorite part of the party was, and he said it was this time. I thought that was so sweet.
They would both grab onto the slide, then Big T would bring on a big wave and they'd come crashing down into the pool. They laughed and laughed every time...
We stayed through the afternoon so we could spend some family time together. Jake's favorite thing is baseball right now, and he wants to play wherever he is. He found Channing's bat and this little helmet and was ready to go...
I've gotta include this precious girl. Her Tia Chandy brought her very first sponge rollers, so they tried them out. I didn't get a picture of her cute curly hair, but I did get this one...
