Weekend Separation

Karl, Annika and Lauren went to Columbus for a long weekend in mid-September. That's a long way to travel for a short trip you might say. . .well, not when OSU is playing USC under the lights at the Horseshoe. Not only did Karl have a great time at the football game (despite the loss) the girls had a wonderful time hanging out with Grandpa and Grandma. . .they especially enjoyed not having to share any attention with their baby sisters. In the meantime my dear friend Shanda came (kid free!) and spent a wonderful girls weekend with me and the twins.

Cousin Danial introduced Annika and Lauren to glow sticks while Great-Grandma watched.

Searching for rocks to throw in the river.

Lauren's face is worth a close-up look. I'm guessing she was a little worn-out.

Dress-up fun at Grandpa and Grandma's.
