Girls Weekend

Another fun summer weekend has gone by. Last weekend we were in Viroqua again for 'Girls Weekend'. These happen once or twice a year for the 'Gray' girls. These are the girls on my mom's side of the family. This weekend it was my mom, Auntie Sandy, Mandi, Kelly, Mindi, Lucy and me. Mandi was with us for the beginning of the weekend, before she left for another girls outing in Iowa. Mandi got the girls t-shirts while she was in Italy last month. They say 'Ciao Bella'. Here is a shot of them together.

Sandy got the girls this cute pool to hang out in. Here they are splashing with Gram, Mandi and one of Mandi's friends.

Mindi loved scooping up the water and dumping it out with these cups.

Lucy's version of coming by mommy and saying 'cheese'.

Of course I spent a large part of the day behind the camera. I caught this cute shot while I was spying on Lucy and Gram having a conversation on the steps.

Later that day we got to go visit some of Sandy's friends, The Leum's. They are organic dairy farmers. They had baby cows and baby kittens on the farm this weekend.

Here are some of their cows. They came right up to see us. One of them would moo when we would get close. At first, Lucy was a little scared, but then she thought it was pretty neat. Here she is saying 'Moo'.
And, the kitties. Here Kitty, kitty.

This one climbed this ladder to get up to his favorite spot in the barn.

Mindi liked the kitties the best. She is waiting for one to come by her.

Lucy and Mommy, petting the Mommy cat.

Here are Gram and the Girls walking up the hill to get to the tire swing. And. . . Mindi coming back down. Check out Gram in the background.

On Sunday, we had a nice morning at the house before everyone had to go home. Here are the girls with Auntie Sandy. They are wearing Elephant t-shirts in Sandy's honor.

Of course we tried to get some shots of the girls together in their matchy matchy shirts. And, of course, they would not sit still. Here they are being so silly on the chair together.
