Saturday of Vaughan Togetherness 2017


Elsie is the president of the Tyler Vaughan fan club. We can't understand the fascination, but she adores Ty. 

Poor Elsie was so excited about the cousins that she jumped off the bed and sprained her ankle ten minutes after getting to Grandma and Grandpa's. She couldn't put weight on her ankle for three solid days. However, she had a willing slave in Uncle Tyler and older cousins to carry her around! 


Breakfast


Terribly cute


Hearts game


Books with Aunt Livie


Books with Aunt Lindsey


Gilbert and Abilene are such friends!


Cousin walk


Taking Tyler on a tour of inspection


Do you SEE her eyelashes? Too precious for words.


Hoyt, Lincoln, and Gilbert have a time in the frozen puddle



Ice is so interesting in November




Meanwhile the girls are having a time in a larger frozen puddle which they were using as a skating rink.


Crazy cousins


The older girl cousins




They were having a high old time together!




Not sure what Lily is doing, but it cracks me up



These girls are all marvelous


Early snow


We have a rubbermaid of old fabrics that Mom didn't use for sewing, so the kids spend a lot of time wrapping themselves up in them and making forts and... 


Scott making pico de gallo while Owen critiques his knife skills


This looks like a staged photo- "Everyone look interested in the newspaper."


Fall came with a vengeance. It was forty and windy on Thursday, and we woke up to a half inch of snow and single digits on Friday. Everyone was so excited about the first snow! And it is still hanging around, five days later. 


A serious game of Ticket to Ride


Elliott set up his table, his rotary phone, his bell, and Archie comic. 


I am not sure exactly what sort of service Elliott was offering, but it looked professional.


Orchestra pit behind the loveseat


Afternoon with the workers


Cutting potatoes for supper


Bud, the Shetland pony, in the snow




A cold walk with the boys


The boys were excited and boisterous and Bud stopped his lethargy and had a lovely gallop with them on the other side of the fence. It delighted them beyond measure.
