Spring Break in Arkansas

Abby and Lily spent their Spring Break in Arkansas with Nanna and Poppa. They had a week full of fun! Lots of trips to the small town grocery store (Thunderbirds) for treats with Poppa and lunch dates to Joe's Pizza with Nanna. The girls loved riding 4-wheelers around the farm and having big girl time to scrapbook and get pedicures.

They made a trip to Wye Mountain for the daffodil festival. Little cousin, Maya, shared the day and made all the pictures even cuter. They were able to bring home bulbs to plant here to remember the day.




Poppa got new German Shorthair puppies to train to hunt birds and the girls were thrilled to get to go with Poppa to pick up the puppies and spend the week welcoming them to their new home. Abby and Lily named the new arrivals, Dot and Spot. The puppies fell in love with the girls and the girls enjoyed spoiling them. I'm sure Dot and Spot won't get Poppa to run in circles in the field with them anytime soon.



Lily tried to give Dot and Spot instruction on how to point a bird, but it always ended in a wrestling match.





On Saturday it rained, so they loaded up and went to town to spend some time at the Bowling Alley. This was the first time the girls have been bowling since they have gotten big enough to carry their own balls, and Nanna said they did great! Lily thought the shoes were silly.










Definitely a Spring Break to remember! Thanks Nanna and Poppa.

The girls looked like they had a special spring break in Arkansas.

The little puppies are so cute and bring back a lot of memories with our German wirehair, Sasha.

Abby & Lily looked so big doing the bowling thing. Wow!!! they are sure growing up fast.

Love all of you

Abby look so old!! I can't believe how times flies. I was thinking the other day how we have less time with Kaylee before she moves out than the length of our marriage to date. (did that make sense ha ha!) I wish they could stay little!
