vacation

We just got back from spending a few days at Shenandoah Crossing Resort.  Brent and I had been a few years ago and we've been talking about bringing the kids ever since.  Its a beautiful resort and has a lot to offer. We didn't get to do everything and the kids were sad to leave.  We could've easily stayed a few more days. 

We brought Ant Ant with us and are so glad she came with us!
Ant Ant is also a genius because she started giving and taking away points for the kids based on behavior. She also gave tasks like sweeping the cabin or when we were waiting for something she would have them search for a specific rock.  Then at the end she got them something from the little store or gave them arcade tokens based on their points.  Joel was all about it and got the most points.  He also got the most taken away but his drive to get all the points balanced it out and he came out the winner! 



















 Norah was so excited to ride a horse. She woke up in the middle of the night asking me if it was time yet and made me promise to take lots of pictures of her riding the horse so she can show Juliauna (the girl next door)  I promised and she went back to sleep until 5am and then just laid in bed until I finally got up with her. 
 I walked next to Norah and Brent had the camera and this is what he took!  All head shots and none of the actual horse.  Thankfully Ant Ant took lots of pictures of Norah and the horse.

 Oh Brent! He was so excited to show me what he took and said he got a lot of really great ones. 
 Colin and Brent got to go on a trail ride. 

 Colin rode Spiderman

 Brent rode Rocky



We spent some time petting and feeding the horses. They have a little feed machine that you put money in to get a handful of grains. Norah laughed hysterically everyime because it tickled. 









A fun vacation, or "vaca" as Joel kept saying (complete with air quotations)

Norah is convinced we went on a misson and we can't convince her it's vacation. She will correct anyone who calls it vacation. 

Mission, "vaca", or vacation - enjoyed by all
