My dad has 8 siblings, and their children are spread out all over the USA. This weekend some of us cousins gathered in the PNW to celebrate my cousin’s birthday. It was a long weekend full of laughing and sharing stories, reconnecting, adventures, and making memories. I personally met two cousins that I don’t think I’ve ever met before…or if we have met we were too young or it was too chaotic that we didn’t remember meeting! What a blessing it is that we had this time together, and it really is fun to see how much of our personalities are nature vs. nurture. I’m already looking forward to the next time we get together…
Cousins help support cousins and encourage/pressure them to get their first ink! 😉 Thanks @3rdhearttattoo for an amazing day.
Meanwhile while I’m in WA and OR with my cousins, the Cowkids hit the mats for the first ever annual Sundown Showdown Wrestling Tournament 💜 Huge thanks to everyone who showed for an amazing evening especially all the volunteers and workers.
Oregon Coast ✅
Fabulous day at the Oregon coast!
One of my favorite things to do when I’m on vacation is attend mass at a new church!
Bucket list day in the PNW! ✅ I left the original sound on because the sound of the waterfalls and creeks was so amazing. My cousins kept apologizing for the weather, but I think we can all agree, it was exactly what you’d expect for a hike like this!
Waterfalls everywhere! More pics to come, but had to share these. We had an amazing time in OR today. Outdoor clothing from @gearupandgetout name drop Prairie Wife for 15% off.
Today was my first time ever going to a winery (and we ended up going to three in total). Even though I don’t drink wine (I joke I’m too immature to appreciate it) I still had an amazing time walking around, tasting the grapes, and spending time with my cousins! 🥰 Cheers to new experiences and more adventures to come.
