The next time we visit, they're all grown up and awkward with each other. They complain before being dragged together, but once they're all there, a niche opens and they begin to talk.
Plus, there's always ice cream to draw them together.
And it helps to have a good-natured 11-year-old to act as comic relief.
Since he was little, Patrick has been the one that drew the older kids together, from the time he was one-year-old and we visited during the 2000 election recount. The kids would ask him, "Who's going to win, Patrick, Bush or Gore?" Little Patrick, who was just learning to speak would make a proclamation and the other kids would fall about laughing, no matter who he tagged as the winner.

Ok, so the kids got along for the most part.....so what happened with your hair? Did it look fabulous for the reunion with your old friends?
Weird. I think Jesse had that same suit that Tucker is wearing at the same age.
It's interesting to watch children grow up. I like seeing cousins interact through the years. Mostly, they all seem the same.
