we left shortly after church on Sunday to go up to "A-town" to Nana Judy and Bapa Ron's house! We had such a great time! Lots of yummy food, laughs, swimming, and love!

While there, Nana and Daddy took the girls to the museum! Looks like they saw some fun stuff!




after the museum, we went to visit Grandma Hilda! Doesn't she look great for 91?


we got to go out for supper (yummy) and Uncle DJ, Aunt Rachelle, Noah and Blake came with! It was so great to see them! the boys are growing soooo fast! After supper, we came back to Nana and Bapa's house!

Cousin Noah and Uncle DJ...


Aunt Rachelle and Cousin Blake...


Livie looked so stinkin' adorable, that I just had to snap a quick picture of her!




Nana and Bapa have a pool, and the girls went swimming over and over and over....they learned some new skills and gained some more confidence in the water!

Liv LOVED the slide! She tells people "I can go down da swide with no mommy!"


such a big girl!




Avery also loved the slide too! Just give her goggles and her nose plug, and she's good to go!




The BIG news, was the diving board! Avery was so brave to try it, and she ended up LOVING it!






and, Liv had to try too....into a raft!






before we left, we stopped at the fun storybook land!








Avery and I went on the hot air balloon ride. if you follow me on facebook, you'll know that I felt some ill effects from this silly ride! it's amazing how spinning when you're 30 can give you what feels like vertigo for the WHOLE day...good grief!


we were so high up!


Liv was too small for the hot air balloons, so daddy took her on the carousel instead!


we ended up the trip with a meal at Culver's with Nana and Bapa!


Thanks for the fun vacation!
