Cousins look like fun!

Last night we took Anna to Neilson's Custard Shop, which we have visited about once a week since Anna has been born, including her 5th day of life! As we sat and ate our custard Matt & I noticed there seemed to be a LOT of kids at Neilson's. We ended up talking to the women sitting at the table next to us with four of those kids. It turns out that all those kids were the Neilson's grandchildren - all 24 of them ranging in age from 4 months to 14 years. The women next to us, daughter-in-law of the Neilson's, explained that there were 6 children and 24 grandchildren all living in the Vienna area who visit Neilson's as a group every once in a while. Wow! I think my favorite quote from the evening is from Mrs. Neilson, "You know the rule, only dishes of ice cream inside - cones OUTSIDE!" Anna was mesmerized watching all the cousins & is looking forward to a cousin of her own in August!
