.:Girl's Week:.

Our vacation continues....

After spending the weekend in Salem, all of the girls (and kids) headed down to my parent's house in Klamath Falls. We were ready for a week of fun!

This was the scene of our afternoons. Doesn't get much better!


Here is Remi's first time in the pool. I think she liked it!


Reece is ready to go!


My mom hired a gal from her ward to come up and teach the kids swimming lessons. It was really casual and laid back, but super fun. Reece didn't totally get what to do, but she did learn to blow bubbles and kick her legs. She also really enjoyed jumping off the side of the pool and the games.

My parent's pool has a beach front entrance, which is just perfect for the little ones. It's a great area for them to play without mommies having to stress out as much.

One day we took the kids to ride the trolley through downtown. It was a nice little half hour ride, and the kids really enjoyed it!

Andi, Reece, and Gramzee


All the ladies and babies

After we rode the trolley, we went to the lake to feed the ducks and geese. Those geese were huge! I think they were all bigger than Reece. There was some baby geese that were so cute. I'm pretty sure Reece just ate all of the bread she was supposed to be throwing!


Remi once again hanging out in her car seat while we feed the ducks.


After feeding the ducks, we went home where Gramzee treated us all to snow cones. The kids thought it was pretty awesome. Actually, I'm pretty sure we all thought it was awesome!


Yum!


One nite while we were there, we had a camp fire and roasted marshmallows. My mom had bought these gigantic marshmallows that are about the equivalent of five regular marshmallows, so we were all done after just one!

Mom and Alli

Dani and me


This is how Reece fell asleep every nite while we were there. We had pulled a twin mattress into the room, just on the floor, and for whatever reason, this is what was comfortable to her!


The boys made it into town for the weekend, and on Saturday nite my parents rented out a local candy store for all of us. They had us set up in back with popcorn, cotton candy, lemonade, and goody bags for the kids. As if that weren't enough, we also all got to have whatever ice cream we wanted, and each kids (that was old enough to eat candy) got $8 to spend on candy. That's quite a bit! It was really fun, and the kids were in heaven!




It was a super fun week, we were thoroughly spoiled, and I am missing home like crazy already.

Up next: Sunriver!
