Great American and a Farm Too

Rob was in Arizona for 6 days with his dad visiting his Grandpa and family out there.  He had a WONDERFUL time and came home with lots of stories.  He was so happy he got to spend time with his family!

 

While he was gone, I had A LOT of time alone with the girls. We were very busy.  About an hour after Rob's flight took off, Libby got the stomach flu.  It was a long night with poor Libs, but by the next morning she was feeling better.  Nevertheless, I stayed home with her and we had a day of cuddling. One night Nana made us dinner and helped me out with kids and my busy schedule.

 

On Saturday, we went with Nana, Auntie Tina, and Auntie Stina to a local farm that had sheep sheering.  It was a fun girls bonding morning!  Here are a few pictures of the girls with the newly born baby cows.

 

 

On Sunday, the Hackneys offered us tickets to Great America.  They were for Jay's work, but they were not able to go.  My parents, Joe, Lucy, and Leigh joined us.  It was such a great day!  It was the girls' first time at Great America.  We had season passes growing up so I have been there so many times...it was really fun to take my kids for their first time!  The morning started off a little cold, but after lunch it warmed up and we were able to enjoy a great day together!
