It's pretty clear that whatever these two sisters talked about in the past isn't really happening in the present. Sis and her family are totally closed off to our protagonist, and it's time to move on.

Right, maybe it would be worth it to ask her sister more about her kids' behavior, or have a talk about her feelings in general since the move and being excluded.

31-year-old mom goes "no contact" after sister excludes her children from family events despite her moving to Florida so their kids could grow up together: “Sorry, friends only”
I was always jealous of my cousins that got to grow up together. Three of my dad's siblings settled down in the same city that they grew up in, and two of those bought houses in close proximity to each other. Guess whose house was in between them? My grandparents' house! One of my uncles even had a ladder that extended from his balcony into his parents' courtyard. Their kids grew up as close as siblings, spending their evenings playing together in our grandparents' home after school. I only visited about once a year, but they made an effort to not let me feel like the odd one out.
In our story today, two sisters dream that their children will have a close bond as cousins. One of the sisters, our protagonist, moves to Florida to make this dream a reality. However, after months of living there, she comes to realize that her sister doesn't really want her – or her kids – around.
