Grandpa summer kick off camping trip






















 Over Memorial Day Weekend we kicked the summer off with Grandpa coming into town. The boys went on their annual camping trip while us girls enjoyed some time here! 

Boys: they started the grip with a Twins baseball game in Minneapolis after picking Gpa up from the airport. The boys (all of them) were pretty excited to bring home a ball! The next morning they were off to Nauvoo. They visited all the church sites and fished along the Mississippi River. Another day they drove around and ended up finding an old church house that Gpa Vaughn’s ancestor helped build. They fished at the Nauvoo state park, ate at a Mexican restaurant, cooked s’mores, practiced baseball, and had a wonderful weekend slowing life down and enjoying each other’s company. 

Girls: we spent an entire day hanging out with little friends and then hanging out with Heather, Josie, and Lily until bedtime. The next day we were enjoying g a slow moment and even stirring on the back porch, eating an apple when we received a call to see if we were going to the parade. Before we knew it, the girls were all loaded in the biking trailer and we were down at the parade. We ended up sitting with Treycen and the Tolentino’s. It was so much fun! 

Once the boys were back, we woke up bright and early to work on the yard before our bbq. Gpa Vaughn even taught Maddix how to mow the lawn. The boys and I met up with all the friends at the park and played nearly 3hrs of ultimate Frisbee before coming back to the house to host a bbq. It was a great day. The boys both ended up having late nights at friends, so Gpa Vaughn took the rest of us out to dinner and we came out (at 9:00pm) the sky was bright and green! Thanks fully, there was no tornado! 

We LOVED our Memorial Day Weekend. Now here’s to our summer to come!!
