Travel Week(end)

Rain Rain!  I love this picture of the girls.  It really does capture how sweet they are.  

about 4 inches over the weekend.   Jimmy asked when we need to build the ark! Ha 

Hot stuff! 

Stunning lady! She is really growing up too fast for my liking.  

Daddy and his girls! 

My ladies!

Yes, I have spent 6 nights this week in a hotel, but the end was all worth it.   I traveled to Orlando and Nashville for work Sunday evening through Thursday, but then Friday the girls and I hit the road for Cincinnati.  

The weekend was dedicated to playing and visiting with my best friend from high school.  Leah and I worked together through high school, connected through college with letters, emails (although that had not taken off as much yet) and visits, and supported each other as we started our careers, marriages and parenthood!  WOW!  Although we don’t talk as often as we use to due to demands of life and priorities with husbands, kids and careers it was a great weekend to connect and play!    We had a blast!   We are already looking forward to next year, this time without kids so we can grab a few quite dinners, shop a little, run a little and maybe even squeeze in a spa day!

Maggie at the splash pad in Cinci at Winton Woods.  It was fabulous! 

Showing off! 

Yes, this is Maggie's new picture look!  

Gracie always finds a place to rest in the sun.  

All our kiddos at the zoo (the only semi decent group shot we got)

The Manatees were one of the favorites!

Gracie did this all on her own as she tried to mimic the animals stance!  

She was enjoying talking pictures to share our trip with Daddy when we got home. 

Sweet girl in the bamboo.  Maggie would not hold still enough to get her picture.  

A little pool time at the hotel. 

Maggie loves the adventure of the water. 

Gracie calls this her "frog" drive! Quite funny! 

No trip to Cinci is complete without Graeters Ice Cream. 

My silly girl 

Ahh, a real picture! 

Final night.....a good swim, ice cream before dinner, pizza and a movie!  

What a great weekend, but we were ready to be home to see Daddy! 

We rushed home to make it to Kenzie's birthday party!  Gracie and Kenzie are best friends! This will be the 3rd year in a row they have been in the same class at school.   

American Girl Movie Party!   WOW.  It was a great time.  Its funny looking at the girls with their dolls and how much the doll matches their own looks! 

Count down to school when they get to spend a lot more time together!
