Draper/Cothran family visit

We have had a busy couple of weeks! But, oh so fun! First we had Aaron’s sister Kim from Texas here with her oldest son Bryan and her girls Haven and Payten. Then Mom, Dad and Rachael came from Washington State and brought Kim’s boys Rylan, Trevan and Brayden. Then Uncle Spencer flew in just in time to go camping at Yuba Lake for the week. Then it was party time at our house for the weekend. We played hard and had a ton of fun. The kids had such a good time with the cousins J I know it’s a lot of pictures but it’s the best way to show our fun.
