The girls had their annual week up north with Grandma and Papa. As usual, they enjoyed every minute of it. They got plenty of lake time in, both a CDA and Spirit Lake.
Papa Mark made sure the tetherball game was all ready to go. Sid challenged him in several games. She never did tell me who won.
They spent an afternoon with Lorain's kids playing games. It is awesome that they have made some lifelong summer friendships.
Aunt Stephie rented paddleboard's and kayaks one day, while Grandma Karen took them kayaking a different day. It seems that Kendall thought the SUP was the way to go. Hallie and Sid preferred the kayaks.
They went to Art on the Green, ate lots of yummy food, watched some great movies and had the time of their lives. After a week of fun, we met in Grangeville to pick them up. On the way home, we stopped in Donnelly for their annual Huckleberry Festival. It was fun to act like tourists. The girls took a picture in front of the World's Largest Ponderosa.
The girls decided to enter a pie eating contest. It was really a plate of whip cream with a piece of bubble gum buried in it. The kids had to find the gum. Then, the first to blow a bubble won a $20 Stinker gift card. It was semi humorous, because Kendall did not actually know how to blow bubbles. That did not stop her from trying.
Sidney actually won the contest. She spent her winning right away. Gotta love those gas station sunglasses. By the time we made it home, Kendall had perfected the art of bubble blowing. Her determination always amazes me.
