Vacation

Just got back from a fabulous few weeks of vacation. Abigail went with my mom to Kansas City for a few days to visit with Adam and Ruth. Abigail had so much fun...smoothies and ceramics, a fancy dinner out, puppet shows, church. I followed with the two other girls and we had a great time there. Of course, I didn't take many photos. Guess Caraline was around when I had my camera out. That's probably because the two big girls were too busy playing and having fun!  We did bounce houses, water parks, swimming pools, lunch at Garmin, bubble tea, Brave (the movie), and lots of Wii dance. The Sidors treated to a sitter one night so we could have an adult meal. Miss Trishia quickly became a favorite and even came to the water park with us. She had the girls at Pretty Pretty Princess! Aunt Ruth was an amazing host, as always! And the girls and I had a lot of fun with Uncle Adam and and Nani.

After a few hours at the 77th Street mall in Chicago (Jeremy's plane was late), we made it to the lake around 10pm. Three weeks of fun, family time followed. One week shared with the Novotny clan, another with Jeremy's family, and then some former Californians joined for a few days. The girls had such a blast with all of the kids. Caraline loves tubing and discovered ice cream too. So many wonderful memories and fun!!!

Three teeth gone in August!

Anyone up for a drive?
