Here we are, ready for the long trip up...
This was an absolute must, although I feel like Lincoln was such a zombie from being in the car so long, that the ginormous truck, didnt have quite the same effect on him.
Either way it was a fun photo op
This is one of my favorite pics of the whole trip (which I didn't get enough at all so please send them my way) for so many reasons. This is the perfect Grandma, granddaughter activity. Vienna loves to bake things and my Mom allowed her to be her 4 year old self which can be tough at times, especially in the kitchen and they both look so cute! Such a special memory.
After all the big festivities while I was hanging out for the rest of the week, I was able to catch up with a few good friends. Here is Kim and I with all our kiddos. So fun!
This is the essence of each day. Playing in the backyard, hanging out.
blowing up water balloons and not getting too frustrated with Lincoln and Vienna popping them just as fast as you fill them. Ps- Love this pic of Vienna and her Auntie Nae
This is it...the hang out with so many babies!
So fun to meet Leo and Parker!
Everett and Parker were so fun to watch together. They are only 5 weeks apart and were rolling/sitting on top of each other on the floor all the time and we had tub time together.
It was so fun to have them in the tub just playing and loving life.
Our abode while we were there. It was truthfully the perfect place for our family. The rooms were divided nicely and it was cozy and gave us our own space. We LOVED it. Plus we had electricity, water and our own patio lights to really make it feel homey.
Aarika's kids and my kids hanging out inside once the rain came
Us with our kiddos...such good times to see my friends again.
Vienna with her "cousins" Josephine and Dorothy. Unfortunately Sonia and the girls couldn't come up until basically our last day here, which means we were all super sleep deprived and warn down, so I was draging and it was by far my worst night with my children EVER so that made the following day even more difficult, but despite that, I am so glad we got to see each other and for the girls to play together and have a sleep over. Sonia and I do this every time we are together, but we always forget to get a picture of ourselves together or with our kids. Its quite sad really. At least we got these cuties though.
Ben and Shelby filled these water balloons for us and did a great job! Such a fun water fight.
The two boys at it on the floor.
So one night there were 2 great horned owls (we think great horned) out in the back yard. It was amazing to see them this close and watch them. It's such a treat to live where they do.
Of course the lawnmower ride...
Lincoln truthfully couldnt get enough of the lawn mower and kept wanting to do more.
Me with my sweet, and oh so tiring little kiddos.
Thanks to my little Linc's man when he woke up from a nap, he decided to mark his territory before gracing us with his presence in the house. Oh boy, gotta love 2 year old boys.
blowing raspberries gets messy sometimes, doesn't it Everett.
The best part about fires at Mema & Papa's are smores made with Chocolate covered digestive cookies. Heck Yes!
They loved swimming in the hot tub.
Vienna and Dorothy being their cute selves.
My shield from Ben. It was a serious water fight
Jumping on the tramp.
Despite the fact that Lincoln was even more of a terrible two year old than normal because he was so sleep deprived and out of his element, we still had a marvelous time and look forward to another adventure up at Mema and Papa's next summer, if we can make it work out.
OH CANADA!!!
