Two weeks ago, we went home with Grandma to spend a week.
We went to visit our great grandmas, spent a day with our cousins Lauren & Ben, went with Grandma & Grandpa to get their eyes checked, made cookies and went to the lake!
We had a very good time at the lake, but were very anxious for Mom & Dad to come to the lake because we missed them very much. They came while we were sleeping Friday night, and we were SO happy to see them when we got up Saturday!
Still, we got to enjoy the lake with Grandma, Grandpa, Angie, Dani, Jason, Lauren, Ben and Mom and Dad. We got to swim a lot
Saturday night, we had a bonfire, roasted marshmallows, then Angie shot fireworks that Grandpa had bought. He got a LOT of cool fireworks, so we had fun Saturday AND Sunday watching them. It was awesome.
Saturday, Grandpa got the pontoon boat in the water. Usually it just sits on the hill and we pretend to drive it, but Grandpa actually put it in the water! He took us out for a ride Saturday night, but we got about 1/4 mile from shore before the motor pooped out. Daddy & Jason came to rescue us, but Grandpa was able to get back into shore with a crippled boat. Luckily, he fixed it Sunday and was able to take us out Sunday night. It was fun! We both got to drive a little bit and look around the lake.
Monday, we were sad to have to go back, but ready to get back to our own beds and our own house. We made it most of the way home before we fell asleep after a long busy weekend.
Tuesday, we were excited to go back to Sue's to see all our friends.
We also started swimming lessons! our teacher's name is Jared, though he had a helper most of the days this week. We started just learning to kick our feet on the side of the pool. This week, the hardest part has been learning to put our face in the water without having a towel to wipe our face right away. Noah is a little scared and clings to the teacher when it's time to put our face under, but he's good at it when he finally has to do it. I'm being a big girl and learning to put my face under without fussing. We're both enjoying swimming lessons, though! Noah didn't want to go back the second day but mommy finally figured out that he didn't want to go back because he didn't want to take a BATH afterwords...he liked the swimming part. Now, we look forward to swimming every day.
Friday, we even went off the DIVING BOARD! It was awesome! Jared lowered us into the water to another teacher who let us get our face wet then helped us swim to the edge of the pool.
Saturday, Lars & Matt came over to help Daddy. When we were at Grandma's, lots of branches broke off the trees and our backyard was FULL of branches. Since Daddy's arm is hurt, Lars & Matt came to help him cut branches and clean up the trees and yard. I had a tea party on the deck since it was too dangerous to play in the backyard.
It was a hot day and Mommy turned on the sprinkler in the front yard to let us play in the afternoon. It was really fun, and after we ran through the sprinkler, we got ready for a party at Lars & Juanita's. We got to jump on the trampoline and have yummy food and play with Trevor & Amara. But, we were scared to go to bed there - we really wanted to go home. We cried a little bit and told Mommy we missed Cheyenne, but we were big kids and fell asleep there so Mommy & Daddy could hang out with their friends and have fun.
Today was a lazy day - we all took naps because we had a late night last night. I had a hard time sleeping tonight since I napped so well today. So, I listened to fireworks and cuddled with Mommy while we watched the rain & lightning for a little while. When I went back to bed, I was very tired and fell asleep quickly.
We're looking forward to swimming lessons again tomorrow! It's going to be a fun week - getting to go to the pool every day. Yay!
Have a great week!
Hannah
