Darin's 2nd Visit

My cousin Darin loves to come and visit the girls on their birthdays in July every year, and we love having him visit.  This year he had so much fun in July that he decided to surprise the girls with a second visit in October for Dakota's birthday.  They had no idea that he was coming.  When he got here he hid in the basement and I asked the girls to go and clean up the toys down there.  When they were all down there I turned off the lights and they kept asking me to turn them on.  I was not the one however that turned the lights back on, it was Darin.  They were very surprised and so glad to see him.  He loves surprising them so he had fun with the trick as well.

He was able to get some fishing in which is his most favorite activity.  Dakota goes fishing with Darin because she loves to fish too and doesn't get a chance to do it any other time.  They only caught one fish this time (sadly they didn't take any pictures) but apparently it was very big.  The rest of the fishing he did here was on his fishing game for the Wii game system that he taught everyone how to play.  He also made us one of his favorite dinners...upside down apple french toast.  It was yummy and the whip cream topping was the best I have ever had.

We are looking forward to his next trip out to visit with us which he is already planning.  Here are a few fun pictures we took while he was here.

He had as much fun being covered as the kids had fun covering him.
