this weekend

last week it came to me that i was off work both this past friday and this monday.
we have been itching to go to trout lodge again.  i checked the forcast and said, it's perfect.
adam said, book it.
and we did.
we planned to pick anne and kate up around noon and head out of town.  they knew nothing about it.
we went to pick anne up.
she came out of the door and said, DO I HAVE A CAVITY? AM I GETTING A SHOT?!
uhhh.....no i said.
THEN WHERE ARE WE GOING?  WHY ARE YOU HERE?!
adam said, well, i thought we should probably go to TROUT LODGE.
she squealed like a crazy girl.
off we went to pick up kate.
it took her a minute to digest it, but she was just as excited.
the weekend was perfect.  just perfect.
the weather was beautiful, it wasn't crowded.
we went, and went, and went, and WENT.
if you haven't ever been, i would highly suggest going.
it seriously is one of the best family friendly places i have been too.
the activities promote learning and success.  anne learned how to shoot a bow and arrow and for pete's sake hit the BULLSEYE!
adam braved a horse back ride. and lived.
i mean seriously.  you need to go!
i promise you will love it!

a hole in one for anne...the ball in the picture is mine.  she is doing a celebration dance...

this is what kate did most of the 18holes...sat on them.

or sat on the bench and said can we ride bikes NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW?!

volleyball.  adam laughed at me too much. i tried to explain, it's a little different when there is no one else that knows how to play on the court.
