The "Nelson Side"

I am sad to say that we don't know the Nelson side of our family as well as I would like to. Last night we had the wonderful experience to spend the evening with three of Josh's aunts and some of their families. It was so great! We had a great time getting to know them better and Josh's cousin had kids for our kids to play with. They had a ball and so did we :)
They had Madden Football, which is always a hit with Josh.
The boys kept saying "this is the funnest house ever!" They loved the air hockey table.
Josh loves to do "magic" tricks with the kids. I think it is because no matter how obvious it is the kids don't see it because it is "magic" and they really don't try to. They aren't at the age yet they have to know why things happen. They are just happy they happened. He would put a little treasure box on his head, have Hunter open his hands and WATCH them (that was very important so Hunter couldn't see where the box was falling from). He would put the box on his own head where Hunter couldn't see it and then drop it off his head into Hunter's awaiting hands. They did this over and over and Hunter loved it every time. Josh would ask Hunter where it came from and Hunter would point at the ceiling. So cute!
"I caught it!"
I can't tell you how many pictures I took trying to get this face. He would do this cute face each and every time he caught the treasure box.
Lincoln and Zackson were making "houses." These consisted of a big pile of wood and dirt. They did it for a long time!
Hunter loves golf. He has asked me to go to the golf course on average once a day for the last year. This includes winter time where I think it shoots up to 3 times a day. Knowing this you will see how funny it was that he kept telling me he was playing hockey! That is a golf club!
