New Jersey Part 4: Hangin' with the New Jersey Cousins

(Note: These photos were all shamelessly swiped from Aunt Melanie's facebook page)

A visit to Port Republic also includes getting to see Nathan's Uncle Paul, Aunt Melanie, and cousins Elizabeth and Paul.  Their home was one of the highlights of the whole trip for Reni and Ellie as you'll see below.  All you need is a few animals and a ball!



Ellie was SO enamored with Elizabeth's collection of about a dozen hermit crabs.  After we left, she kept asking if we could go back and see "Clair Bear" (one of the crabs).  Ellie kept telling me, "It's not stealing!"  I wonder what she had in mind for Clair Bear!

I think this was Reni's first real interaction with a crab outside of a cage.





Thanks, Paul and Elizabeth, for entertaining our kids so well!  We all had a great time visiting your home!
