Travel & Vacation: Visiting Our Grandparents

Playing in the sun room

We recently had an opportunity to go to Vermont and spend some time with Jake’s family.  The girls had a blast playing games, doing puzzles, reading books, and more!  They thought it was awesome having a dog in the house too and loved leading Irish around as well as learning how to give her various commands.  It was a nice relaxing weekend with Jake’s Mom and grandparents.  Thankful for a chance to spend time with them and have fun.

Brina hanging out near the stove with Irish.  Hmmm….seems like Irish should be the one in that bed?   She thought Irish’s bed was a soft place to sit.  Irish was a good sport and didn’t seem to mind sharing.

Craft time!  The girls loved doing crafts and were often found at the table cutting, gluing, coloring and more!

Jake and Gramps – Wonder what they are up to now!?

We made a stop by Eatons Sugar House in South Royalton, Vermont

Glad to see the bridge is back up and working again.  It was taken out with a flood over a year ago

The river looks a little icy today, don’t think anyone wants to go tubing this time

PopPop looking great

Karlie giggling at her Valentine goodies. She thought the $2 bill was pretty neat.

Brina unwrapping her giant fortune cookie. These fortune cookies were HUGE!  Grandma Kay found them locally, they were homemade, unique, and tasty.

Now that’s a BIG fortune cookie!

Brina reading her fortune

Brina used the pretty ribbon from her fortune cookie to make her hair beautiful

The “Travel and Vacation” series is an insight into our trips together as a family and ways we relax.  Life is short and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to build memories with family and explore of of the most amazing places during our time away.  Explore with a good attitude, look for fun, and it will be an awesome trip jammed packed with positive memories.  It is refreshing having some time away from the regular routine.  Make it a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people and learn.  You just might see or try something new that takes your breath away!
