A couple of weeks ago my mom came for a long weekend (Wednesday-Monday) to spend a little vacation time with us AND to watch the girls while we went out-of-town to Ben's cousin's wedding.
We had a great time with Ga Ga and she got to experience "real life" with two little girls running around to the pool, tee-ball, and birthday parties.
After Ga Ga landed on Wednesday we headed back to the house for lunch.
Caroline loved sitting with Ga Ga.
And then in the afternoon we headed to the pool.
I enjoyed sitting poolside while my mom was swimming with the girls.
Wednesday night ring pop treats from Ga Ga.
Thursday morning we headed into the city to visit the Botanical Gardens!
The children's garden just reopened and the girls LOVED it!
They spent about 45 minutes water plants, sweeping dirt, and digging in the soil.
After our visit, we enjoyed a picnic in the outdoor garden
Thursday night, Ben and I enjoyed a date night to see Wonder Woman.
Ever try taking a selfie in a dark theater?
Ha!
Friday morning, Ben and I had a second date!
We were going to play nine holes but it was supposed to rain so we headed to top golf.
The weather was perfect!
I enjoyed to doughnut holes and mimosas while playing golf :)
My mom gave Caroline this Elsa dress.
She wears it all day, every day.
Friday night was Elizabeth's last tee-ball practice.
The coach gave out trophy's after the practice.
She was over the moon excited for her first trophy!
(She carries it all over the house)
Since Elizabeth received her trophy, I made chocolate pie for dessert.
We introduced Ga Ga to our deck dinners and she thoroughly enjoyed it!
Friday night we played some Hand and Foot.
Saturday morning, Ben and I headed to Pennsylvania for Sarah and Tom's wedding.
We stopped for a Dole Whip and I enjoyed every bite!
On our way to the wedding!
Waiting for the wedding to start
It was a beautiful day for a wedding!

Dance floor fun!
A quick picture with Tom and Sarah!
Congratulations!! We are so happy for both of you!
Sunday morning we drove back in time to celebrate Father's Day in the afternoon
The girls (and Ga Ga) made this for Ben while we were gone
They loved helping him open presents and read his cards
Monday morning we headed to Chuck E. Cheese for some fun out of the sun and a little lunch.
Monday night, Ga Ga headed back to Texas.
And that's our six-day-weekend.
Thank you to Ga Ga for coming for a visit, babysitting multiple times, and having fun with us.
Congratulations to Sarah and Tom on your wedding!! It was beautiful and fun and we are so happy we could be there to celebrate with you!
And Happy Father's Day to Ben! You are the best Dad to our girls and the world's best husband to me. We are so thankful to have you in our lives!
Happy Thursday y'all!
