Oh what fun it is to ride. . .to grandmother's house we go! We had a great weekend at grandma Root's house this last weekend. It was fun to have the WHOLE family there and see cousins we don't get to see very often. We went ice skating, swimming, had a talent show and enjoyed being together.
The whole family
Nate and Kacie during their talent--singing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Shrek joined the group in the talent show as well!
The kids had a blast swimming (yes, outdoors) in a friend of Laura's pool. Not to worry, the water is heated naturally by the hot springs that runs below the house--awesome!
Brayden doing a trick!
Ice skating was a lot of fun! Go
Brayden!
Kacie wasn't sure if she was going to like it at first, but she warmed up to it after one spin around the rink.
Don't let go of my hand mom!
Uncle David took the kids for rides on the sled behind his 4-wheeler--I think he had as much fun as the kids did!
Kacie and
Baylie on grandma's rocking horse. These two have a lot of fun together!
Thanks mom and everyone for a fabulous time!
