"vacation"

Olivia and Violet spent last week with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. They called it a “vacation.” They had a blast and enjoyed spending time with everyone, and they did many special (and of course fun!) things. Here are some highlights:

• Catching frogs at the Thronson farm and at Granny & Grandpa Thronson's camper:

• Getting a horseback riding lesson at a ranch near the Thronson farm (they even had to shovel up the horse's poop at the end):

• Tubing/boating up to a restaurant with Thronson cousins:

• Riding in a convertible with Auntie Jill, Rick and cousin Claire, while throwing candy in the Brandon Mid-Summerfest Parade:

• Going to the Glenwood Fair with Suchy's:

• Making homemade ice cream with Granny Thronson
• Getting a tractor/trailer ride from Grandpa Suchy
• Staying up until 10:00 or later (one night they even made it to midnight!)

We missed them while they were gone, but managed to have some fun of our own! Jamie and I went to a movie, went out to eat, and played a round of golf which was a nice treat. We were happy to welcome the girls home yesterday, the first thing they did when they got home was crawl into their beds and tell their blankets and stuffed animals how much they missed them! They had a great time with their grandparents and created many wonderful memories!
