Cousins who play well

This is long overdue:

The four of us spent the weekend with family on Long Island at the start of the summer.  We planned at attend a family pool party on Saturday, but the weather was poor so the party was cancelled.  Instead, Cousins Noah and Belle simple played.  The rain prevented the kids from going to a park or playground or swimming pool, and they never once looked at a screen of any kind (television, phone iPad).  The two nearly-five-year-olds just played together nicely.  They didn't fight or yell or make a ridiculous mess.  They just played.  It was rather astounding, actually, how the cousins enjoyed each other's company so much and played together so nicely.  It was pure joy to witness.
