After many requests from Braden, we finally went to visit his cousin, Charley. Once we arrived at Aunt Kristen and Uncle John-Paul's place, we wondered why we hadn't practically moved in with them previously. They live steps from the water in Seal Beach. Now we know why they nearly throw a fit when they have to come out to visit us! After I explained to Braden that his cousin is still very little, Braden was very excited to teach Baby Charley how to walk and use the potty. That would be a lot to accomplish in just a couple hours, but at least he's setting his goals high!
Adorable Charley wasn't shy about getting cozy with his older cousin. Braden, on the other hand, was a little hesitant of this little guy climbing up him from the moment we walked through the door.
Knowing that they would soon be buddies, Charley was persistent. He wasn't going to let a bit of resistance from Braden stop him from pursuing the bonding. After all, Charley could tell that the two of them could really stir up some trouble if they combined their efforts.
Kristen's brother and sister came for a visit and even brought toys, puzzles, and bubbles! The bubbles were definitely a hit! 
Uncle John-Paul pulled out the guitar and they all sang some of Braden's favorite tunes, including the ABCs and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Braden is still talking about this sing-along! 
Uncle John-Paul let Braden and Charley strum a bit too! Looks like it's time for Daddy to dust off his guitars!
