Kissin Cousins


Florence won't be the same after the Erickson family came to town.





Our special visit from Auntie Arden, and cousins Bo, Halle and Kelton in April began at the train station with a sweet, 5-way cousin hug.
 


For 5 straight days, the girls were eating and sleeping with cousins! 


 

 In Florence, the cousins roamed the streets together...



...and saw the sights together. 


 They rode trains,

rode rides,


and rode bikes together.


In nearby Lucca, the cousins rode on top of, 

jumped on the side of, 

 
and picked flowers along the edge of Lucca's rampart walls. 











 
They played around the Duomo....

 







...and climbed its highest dome to check out the best views of Florence!
  
And after eating as much gelato as they could,


 
the cousins headed back to the train station.... 



... where we said goodbye. 


 

There's no place like home, and, there is nothing like Florence when family and cousins from home come to town.
