Family fun

Memorial weekend 2016 had us itching for a road trip... Piper's teacher, Ms Danielle, recommended St Croix Falls, so we listened!

Daddy's new truck is awesome!

Bunnies are so sweet

They want a bunny now!

This girl loves horses!

"Mom, Ginger likes me!"


They climbed down to the falls in Osceola!  (Mom sat at the top.:)

Superman ice cream!

Monday, we went for a bike ride around Lake Harriet & stopped for ice cream!  Best weekend!

Impromptu family fun night!

We had an impromptu family fun night last week!  We had gotten passes for Waterpark of America, and picked the girls up early.  We told them we were going to get the car fixed, but surprise, we went here instead!
Lots of unsolicited "I love yous" and hugs were just what we all needed!

It's turkey time! 🍗🦃

Iowa City... here we come!
We had a wonderful trip to Iowa for Thanksgiving this year.  Bill and Winnie are the most wonderful hosts, and we couldn't have had a better time!
The weather was good (although we'd told the girls there was snow in IC and when we arrived, it had all melted!), everyone was "relatively" healthy, and the Iowa Hawkeyes WON!!!  Undefeated!
We arrived Wednesday afternoon, enjoyed Pagliai's pizza, stuffed ourselves silly on Thanksgiving, shopped, rode the carousel, had our Mexican, and watched lots of football.


Ann & Abbie

Even Lucy came!

Maddie teaching my girls how to Snapchat

1: she was fascinated by the magnifying glass.
2: This is what she wore to bed.  She didn't like her pajama choices.


Everyone loves coloring!



The girls got their first Bloody Mary.  They both loved it!  Next year, they learn to make them!

We all volunteered to give our technology to Bill for the day (so we can talk like in the olden days he said.)
Megan was saying good bye to her besties.

This never happens anymore, but I loved every second of a sleepy Reagan 

The girls LOVED Rosie, and Rosie loved the girls.

After ~2 days stuck inside because of travel and weather, we took the girls to the inside park at the mall.
They were in heaven!

Maddie swears her shoes were the lucky charm for Iowa having an undefeated football season!

Emojis: you're doing it right!



It's horrible sleeping 3 to a bed, but the bedtime snuggles are the best!

This beauty's giggle can make anyone smile!

Eat Beach Sleep Repeat


Sun, sand, and family time was just what we all needed after a busy school year!
We left June 28 to go to Grand Cayman for10 days with Grammy, Papa, Ann, Doug, Maddie & Abbie. 
We stayed at villas of the Galleon right on Seven mile beach. We stayed in a condo so we were able to make meals, take a rest, and get relief from the humidity and heat!
The girls did very well getting up at 3 AM!

 We flew from Minneapolis to Atlanta, where we picked up Bill & Winnie. Then it was straight to Cayman!











We had delicious meals with our favorite family!









Built so many sand castles (and will be finding sand for the next year! 😉)



We celebrated Fourth of July!

















We went on adventures to the turtle farm, Hell, Georgetown, Camana Bay and really got the hang of riding the bus! 







Our mornings were spent in the water learning how to swim and search for seashells, while our afternoon was spent resting up for the evening festivities.











At the end of it all, our skin is tanner, we are exhausted, and we may be on each other's nerves, but we definitely made some wonderful memories!
