Like making up choreography to hit songs like Bootylicious by Destiny's Child, trying to make brownies without all of the ingredients, or putting water on the kitchen floor so we could slip and slide. The latter wasn't so great because we would bust our butts on the floor. Haha. Let's just say I had a blast building memories with all my cousins and I want my daughter to do the same with her cousins!
