They don't make color film like they used to
And thank goodness for that. This is my grandmother, my cousin, and her three sons - (l to r) Joe, Tim (being held), and Mick. Does that make them cousins-once-removed, second-cousins, or none-of-the-above?
.
At any rate, the "as is" photo is below. The greens and blues are almost entirely washed out. My Paint Shop Pro effort is above. The colors seem to be balanced, but it looks like the photo could just use more color overall. Okay, all you Photoshop aces - let's see you restore this one to its original quality.

They would be cousins once removed. Your kids would be their second cousins.
Siblings share a set of parents.
First cousins share a set of grandparents (but aren't siblings).
Second cousins share a set of great-grandparents (but aren't first cousins or siblings).
'Removed' means two people share a set of ancestors but are not the same number of generations in descent from those ancestors.
In your case, the children of your first cousin would be your first cousins, once removed (the common ancestors are your grandparents, who are their great-grandparents).
Unless you are from Kentucky, then all bets are off.

i had to stand up and give an oral presentation in a Spanish class a few years ago. we were learning all the words for relations - brother, sister, aunt, uncle, grandparents, etc. including things like second cousin and cousin once removed.
"Mi tio se llama Charles." and so forth.
hey, they cooda asked me to do it in English and iu still would've been clueless. so i made up names as i went. for some reason i have a mental block about these particular phrases.
