Oh, it's so good to be home! A couple of weeks ago we went on a vacation to Tennessee. There were many fun activities and times but we sure were glad to be home. We started out the trip with a visit to Grandmother and Grandaddy's house in Kentucky. We all really enjoyed the visit because it had been quite a while since we'd been down there. Then we headed down to Tennessee, which was only another 5 hours or so. Thankfully no one got car sick, even though we were going up and down the small mountain roads with hair pin turns.
In Tennessee, the girls go to catch fish, build sand castles at a lake, swim in the pool, ride a horse and other fun things. Unfortunately both of them (an eventually me) got sick and were pretty much miserable a lot of the time. :( They both had a fever, sore throat and were in pain, which caused them to be all out of whack and whiney. That, in addition to be completely off our normal routine (toddlers aren't real flexible) caused some stress for everyone ;) But we were grateful that my mother in law let us stay with them in a condo that was really nice.
On the way back, we decided to come back straight through in one day in order to get home faster. We visited with grandmother and granddaddy one more time in Kentucky. The trip back took 13 or 14 hours! Also, not very fun with toddlers. I think we decided to stick a little closer to home while the kids are young, haha!
On the home front, Josh built us a fence! It took a ton of work and a long time, but it looks great! In the process though, he busted his head open and ended up getting stiches in the ER :( Thankfully it wasn't too bad. Could have been way worse!
Now that we're back from vacation we are enjoying normal life and being outside a lot in the summer!
