Saying Goodbye

We came back to say "goodbye" to Charlie.

I don't have it in me to write much more than that right now, but it was a very special and touching goodbye to a buddy who has been by your side since you were born.

We will miss you Charlie.

Our last night in Madison

We hit up a fancy happy hour, then a bluegrass dessert.

One more cheese plate for mama, one more ice cream for the girls.

What a wonderful trip this has been with Grandma and Grandpa and all of our hometown favs!

See you in three weeks and one day Mad Town. We love you!

Last year Grandpa stocked the pond with Bluegill, and this year he had a surprise waiting for the girls upon their arrival... fishing poles! He had a casting lesson in the field, then they headed for the pond.

Although the girls wanted nothing to do with baiting the nightcrawlers on their hooks, they couldn't wait to cast into the pond to catch some fish. KK went first, and the bobber bobbed up and down about 45 second after it hit the water. Mollie helped her catch it with the net, and their collection had begun. Mollie was next with similar results. If you want to get someone excited about fishing, this is the way to do it. Once Kendall caught a fish before her bobber even hit the water :). After our first fishing session they had 12 fish and huge smiles!

This is about as close as they would get to the little guys!

Thanks Grandpa!

My heart is so happy that this is one of your favorite places to be. The minute we land in Madison, they ask to go to the land. What a gift for them to have space and time and freedom!

Blaze and Nia

These two ponies made for the most gorgeous day for the girls!

They started with brushing and cleaning the horses mane and hooves, saddled them, then were able to ride them, and after loving every minute, asked to finish off trotting on their own!

We have two new horse lovers.
