A Bonus Trip to Grandma and Poppies House!

A few weeks back Grandma Terrell told us that she was heading up North for a trip. She offered to take the girls to my parent's for a week.  The girls and my parents were very excited.  They set off on their journey last Thursday morning and returned home the following Friday night.  They had nonstop fun and a little "excitement". 
 
At the beginning of the vacation, Hallie and the girls were riding the four wheeler.  As the story goes, Hallie went to take off and Kendall fell off the back.  Uncle Jason came to the rescue.  He calmed the girls down (yes, there was LOTS of crying).  He disinfected the scrapes and called grandma Karen over.  Apparently the road rash looked pretty gnarly the first day.  My mom would not even send me a picture until late the next day. Not that I ever want the girls to get hurt, but it was a good lesson for all three of them on how quickly accidents can happen.  A healthy level of fear was instilled that day.

Aunt Stephie spoiled the girls by taking them all to Finding Dory on opening night.  That was quite a treat for the girls, since we usually subject them to the cheap theatre.  She also bought them these super cute summer tank tops.

One of the days got pretty hot.  My Mom had heard about a new water feature park that had opened, so she took them there to play.  They had a blast hanging with the local kids.



They spent several evenings at the Legion baseball field watching their cousin Dylan play.

Hallie has been taking horseback riding lessons.  The girls went with her one morning to watch her lesson.  They really enjoyed petting the horses.  Sidney has been asking to go horseback riding.  I was hoping this might sway her the other direction, but no, she is still itching to get on a horse.

Kendall made her famous apple crisp.  Papa took them golfing.  They spent an afternoon with my BFF Lorain (yes, I said it, BFF).  They learned all my secrets from growing up.  The clubs we used to have, the games we used to play.  They were full of stories.  They came home with their love tanks full!
