Vacation #2: Sunny California

Sorry this took forever to put up. The kids and I were able to go out to visit with the Bergs for an entire week! Norah and Silas were excellent travelers and had a blast while we were there, I did too. Thank you to Grandpa and Grandma Beth for letting us come visit.



Silas loved touching things in the kitchen with Grandpa.



Love this one. On a ride at the mall.







We were able to drive up to Sacramento and see the Phillips. We were very excited to see their new house and of course, little Ava.










All the Berg cousins.







Having fun dancing.




We love uncle PJ.







Grandpa hated every minute of this (I hope everyone can sense the sarcasm in that one).







Norah with her godmother, Rachel.







Silas with one of his favorite people while we were out in CA.



Little Ava's baptism.












Learning how to use technology from a pro.




Fun day at the Oakland zoo.












Watching her favorite animal of the day.






Silas would have crawled over the goat if I would have let him.










Waiting in line for the train.













Silas thought PJ needed a little help with his food.














A trip to CA would not be complete without a bike ride from Grandpa.




We are so thankful we were able to visit the Bergs in CA. Hopefully we'll be able to visit again soon.

Vacation #1: The Cabin in Sayner, WI

This past week we got to go up to the cabin. And we had a great time. The kids had lots of fun playing outside with cousins and going on little adventures.



Gettting some Corner Store ice cream on the way up.





Here is a good picture of Silas after getting a bug bit on his cheek the day before. Poor little guy.




But he loved the ice cream.







Going on a boat ride.








Norah hanging out with Silas at his favorite spot in the cabin, looking out the window.




Papa and his good catch.







The bull frog hunters came back victorious.




We loved going to the beach.


























Hanging out by the camp fire.




S'more time!












Cash had fun too. He swam almost the entire time.




We had fun watching all the deer come to the deer feeder everyday.




By his favorite spot.




We love ice cream!











Doing some fishing with dad.







Norah was very proud of our sand castle.




Silas loved the sand. So everytime we left the beach he was covered from head to toe in sand. But it was fun rinsing him off :)




Getting to open a birthday present from the Johnsons.




We had fun at the zoo too.

























The girls having fun with some pop beads.

















We had a wonderful time and can't wait to back again.
