(Several members of the Bulawa/Agudelo crew steal Grandpa and Grandma's golf cart for a few spins...)
Those that know us know that there is a 'great divide' within the royal kingdom. Queen Wendy is originally from New York, while King Tony, an avid Red Sox faithful, is originally from Connecticut. Our lives convened right in the middle in Massachusetts--and that is a great thing as the King enjoys his favorite baseball and professional basketball teams and the Queen can escape to NY whenever she wishes--as they did this past weekend.
Off to Upstate the royals went for a visit with the cousins and grandparents. What ensued included pillow fights, late night hijinx, sunrises over the lake while drinking coffee, and a real NY-style clambake complete with salt potatoes -- which one only finds in Upstate NY!
Cousin Lilly takes Prince Alec, Ari and Princess Abigail out for a ride. Aramis shows frustration as he really wants to drive...
And he soon tries to take the wheel....
Cousins Lilly and Maryann take off on the 4-Wheeler....
Auntie Beth (aka Dr. Beth not on call for the first time in 10 years) and Queen Wendy
Grandpa Frank trying to convince King Tony that eating a raw clam is totally safe and DELICIOUS!
King Tony was easily suckered into eating one--although we're not sure he thought it was DELICIOUS! :) 
Grandpa Bulawa puts Princess Abigail to work--explaining that she needs to learn to mow his 25 acres. She seems amenable if she can sit and mow...
She seems to be getting the hang of the wheel, the gears, and all the other fancy doo-dads...
And suddenly, Aramis appears with a SECOND mower...and a desire to learn as well!
Abby is proud of her mowing ability and Grandpa decides to introduce yet another piece of equipment often used on the ranch....
After a visit with the grandparents, the cousins got to spend time together and enjoy one of Auntie Beth's many talents--SCIENCE! Not only are she and Uncle Erick kick-ass physicians, they are people of science--forever testing and trialing new experiements and teaching their four daughters all about what makes 'life' tick. Below are just a few of the many examples of experiements laden throughout the Bulawa Compound on Delta Lake.
An early look at hydroponics.....(in the kitchen)
We're not sure what this did, but beakers, funnel and other items were present. No explanation available at the time of this blog. We think it is some form of distillery--for WHAT, we don't know. :) 
Some of the cousins hanging at the island...just chatting and snacking....
Prince Ari--he's a babe!
Prince Alec and his cousin, Lilly....
Cousin Adia...adorable!!
Abby picks up the guitar and takes lessons from her cousins. Could this be the start of things to come?? Aunt Juliana and her Colombian cousins are very musically talented, so you just never know!! :)
Early morning reading with Grandma Mary....such a special time--and the perfect way to cap off the weekend!
