Travel & Vacation: Visiting Our Grandparents (part 2)

The girls had a wonderful time up in Vermont with Grandma Kay and Irish.  Thankful for an opportunity to spend some time with Jake’s Mom and grandparents.

Earlier this year we were able to fly up to Vermont to spend a long weekend with Jake’s Mom and grandparents.  We were blessed to have a good trip, plenty of snow, safe travels, good memories, and lots of fun. The girls weren’t ready to go home when the weekend was over, but it was time to get back to school again.  The day we left was the coldest day, but we ran outside for a few quick pictures before we had to head back to the airport!

Hanging out with Nana and PopPop in Vermont (aka Grams and Gramps)!  Karlie and Brina had a blast.  We took this picture on the front porch right next to the big snowdrift!

Last morning in Vermont, we had a great trip!

Karlie’s card that she made for Grandma Kay. Very cute, I especially like the creative “pop-out” heart!

When we came down that morning this is what we caught Karlie doing…yup, playing a game on Grandma’s Kay cell phone.  Somebody got them hooked on it the night before!

And what do you think Brina was doing at the same time?!  Yes, Grandma had introduced Brina to a new game and she was hooked within the first few seconds of playing!  Oh boy!

Brina wanted to work this puzzle on first thing in the morning!  We had started it the night before.  The girls now know how good Grandma is at doing puzzles!

They finished the snowman puzzle (and a couple other ones before we left).

Beautiful Vermont scenery on our road trip back to the airport!

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!
