The McCarthy Side Of The Family



















































































On Sunday we traveled 45 minutes outside of the city of Chicago to visit with some of my Aunts and Uncles on my dad's side of the family. We met up at my Uncle Kevin and Aunt Carol's house to see them, their 2 dogs Copper (13 years) and Kona (3 years), and my Uncle Bill and Aunt Jary. It was another wonderful visit with family. Aunt Jary had brought some toys for the boys to play with that she keeps at her house for her grandaughter. Logan really enjoyed playing with the McDonald's ice cream station. Copper and Kona liked it as well sice they kept stealing the ice cream and the cones.


Logan befriended Copper and they stayed side by side a good part of the visit, until Kona stole a few chips from Logan and decided to just plop down on the couch beside him. Nathan again was passed from Aunt to Aunt, but he loved every second of the extra attention. Braden and Logan aslo took quickly to my Uncles Bill and Kevin. I was very surpirsed with both families how easily he adaptoed to them. He is usually so shy and he was not that way with them. I guess he could tell they were "ok".


We did have a little mischievious puppy on our hands with Kona. Not only did he steal chips from Logan, toys from the ice cream toy, and boxes from the supermarket toy, but he also deicded to run off with the minivan. It was kind of funny watching him walk around the house with this purple minivan in his mouth. Oh, well, no harm done.
