Playing at Grandma and Grandpa's

We had a great time vising Wyoming this past weekend. Nick's Mom and Dad moved out of their house so after spent a few days in Wyoming for work, he stayed in Mt. View for a couple of days to help with the finishing touches on the old house to get it ready for renters. His Dad has been building a new home for them and one for his sister this past year. After Nick helped his parents for a couple of days, I came with the girls. On Saturday we left the girls with Grandma and Grandpa and went skiing for hopefully not the last time this year. We didn't take pictures again, but we had a perfectly sunny day. It was so nice to spend some time together after several days apart. Here are some pictures of our various activities from the weekend. It was unseasonably warm and we made the most of it.

The girls love Grandpa's 4-wheelers. Despite Ashlyn's despondent look on her face, she got really mad if anyone went without her.

Grandpa's horses are a special treat, too. The girls couldn't get enough of them.
Uncle Brady's dogs are fun, too. They were a bit big and jumpy for Ashlyn't tastes though. When Emma was smaller, the dogs would tear around the yard right next to her and she would just laugh and laugh.

Here is Lacee with Emma, Cassidy, and Ashlyn. Lacee had the brilliant idea of having tinfoil dinners. It was so fun, and they were delicious. Thanks, Lace.

Here is my first time driving a 4-wheeler. I don't know how I avoided it for so long, but it was fun, and Emma was the perfect passenger. She just knew I could do it.
Ashlyn loves playing. I couldn't believe she was loving this. Emma tried it and was terrified. I guess they each have their own fears.
Grandma took the girls to the park to play while we were gone. This is one of my favorite pictures. Emma loves pretending, and I'm sure she'd love to be in the clouds like this.
Since we won't be together for Easter, Grandma also put together an Easter Egg hunt for the girls. They loved finding all the eggs. Luckily for me, most of the eggs were left at Grandma's.
Even Ashlyn caught on quickly. She loved finding the eggs, too.

Can you imagine how many happy moments would be lost without pictures to document them? I'm glad you were able to go to Mt. View. Kim and Carolyn are such great grandparents.
