What a vacation!

Whew! We got home from CranHill Ranch yesterday and we had a G-R-E-A-T time! I've been going there for a week every year since I was born, and I can't wait to pass this tradition onto my girls.
We went with our family friends, the Z's. We've been camping with them for about 25 years. That's just crazy...I mean, can you love another family this much even though they're not related to you in any way shape or form? YES! And we LOVE the Z's!!
We built sandcastles, swam in the lake, rode horses, climbed the high ropes, pet bunnies, ate too much candy from the barnstore, made crafts at the Craft Hut, lit sparklers and ate smores. It was crazy hot all week. I was originally planning on staying in the tent with the girls, but that never happened. It was too hot!! We ended up in the trailer with mom and dad and the air conditioner. It was a great decision.
Enjoy the pictures!Steven and the girls. They are in love with him!! He was so great to both of them all week! From playing crazy eights with Abby to peek a boo with Grace, he was awesome!
On Tuesday we headed to the family fun night with songs and smores with our Jessie! Abby loved the song motions, but honestly I think she loved the smores more. Papa helped her with the marshmallows, but no one was allowed to help with the eating. :)
CranHill has a great petting zoo. Abby loved the bunnies. She was scared to hold them at first, but eventually they ended up in her lap. There were also horses, cows, sheep, a donkey, and an alpaca.
This is just an all around great picture of my favorite girls!!
Here's Abby with her nightly ice cream. Don't you love the pink cowgirl boots? After she had her bath she had to wear her boots so her feet wouldn't get dirty. She's also wearing her favorite new nightgown with Princess Tiana.
Grace, why aren't you staying on the towel? Grandma Barb set it up so nicely for you!
Riding the ponies were the best! She got to ride Ophelia (her favorite).
Jessie, Nicky, Steven and Hannah tackled the high ropes course and the zip line.
Grandma Barb is soooo much fun!! She makes me laugh all the time!
Since it was so hot we headed to the beach several days. Abby could seriously live in the water and the sand. She never wanted to head back to the trailer.
It was a great week!
