My sister arrived yesterday with her kids, Josh<\/a> and Jena<\/a>, for a week<\/span>\nof summertime play. Josh invited Anthony for a race<\/span> outside almost\nimmediately, and it was all I could<\/span> do to keep up.<\/p>\n\n

Four-year-old Josh wasn't fazed when seven-year-old Anthony turned out\nto be faster, and they raced a lot.<\/span> I think<\/span> Josh just wanted to show off\nhow fast he was (because in his dinosaur-loving mind he's a velociraptor<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n

We were tidying things up before they came, and Anthony helped Grandma\nfill a bird<\/span> feeder. At first<\/span> it was troublesome because the feeder was\ntaller than Anthony...<\/p>\n\n\n

After they arrived and initial races were out of the way, Josh presented\nAnthony with a Star<\/span> Wars Clone Wars<\/i> shirt that immediately became a favorite.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Anthony later presented Josh with some toy cars from Japan, but Josh was\nso deeply involved in sharing his (strikingly impressive) dinosaur\nknowledge with Anthony that he didn't quite notice...<\/p>\n\n

Later, it was time for more play outside...<\/p>\n\n

Jena is an exceptionally sunny child, just like her cousin Titi<\/a>.
