Some Things to do when your niece and nephew visit for the weekend

First Thing:
Damage at least one of the children. This was easily accomplished by simply watching in horror as the niece accidentally slams the bathroom door on older nephew's fingers. The result:

Second Thing:
Take them bowling and watch the 7 year old kick your asses, score wise. Allow 9 year old to take photos for a change. The results:


Third Thing:
Take them to the beach and let them roam free, as opposed to them roaming free among your precious belongings at home. Allow already damaged nephew to show off his jumping abilities, then be horrified at the resulting photo:
Here are some fantastic photos the above child took:
This surfer shot is particularly impressive:

Here are some photos I took of the kids:

Fourth Thing
Don't start crying when the rain hits on Sunday. Pull out the bins of Legos, then let the kid use the camera again. The results:

This photo represents a full on robbery attempt at the local "M" Market:
Interesting composition here:

And last, but certainly not least...send them home with at least one new skill:
