Family

Our designed choc. bars. Ella made a milk choc. bar with choc. chunks and sprinkles on top, I made a white choc. bar with toffee and milk choc. chips in it and Evan a milk choc. bar with toffee bits and choc. chips. We are unsure if we can actually enjoy them, such masterpieces. :o)
Us on the free tour, it was actually a ride with signing cows and music. It was fun!
Ella and Eva's bars being made!
Daddy and Ella dressed in their factory-get up. Ella thought she was pretty spooky with her gloves on. She had to wear them bc she had nail polish on. They were pretty strict!

Oh there's she crying!

Sorry I didn't update last week, Nellie, Tom and Tyler arrived Sunday evening the same time we got home from the Browns game. We have had a busy week and am looking forward to relaxing this week and the girls finally getting rid of their colds. So last weekend we went to a Browns game, it was nice to have some time away from the girls but it was 50 and rainy not the best weather. I was so thrilled I got to wear a poncho, one of my dreams. :o) We literally drove up seconds before Tom and Nellie did Sunday evening and let the kids play awhile. Got the kids to sleep and relaxed for awhile. Monday was rainy and gloomy and the Dolls were tired from driving so we went to library and then to feed the ducks. It was nice day to not have to be running around. Tuesday we went to the zoo and then to Easton after supper, it was busy and with lack of naps was hard on the girls. Wednesday we went to the park and a few shops well actually Tom watched the kids at the park while Nellie and I went to a few stores. Thanks Uncle Tom, you're the best. We took naps and then when Evan got home from work we went out to a pumpkin patch/farm, which Nellie and Tom mentioned was the highlight of their trip. The kids and the adults had a great time. Thursday Tom and Nellie packed up and were on the road by 2pm. It was so much fun to have them here, we miss them already! Evan talked me into going to Pennsylvania bc he wanted to go to a Penn state game and then researched other exciting things for the kids to do so we took off early Saturday morning and drove pretty much all day. We dropped off Evan at the game and the girls and I went to a childrens museum and then picked him back up and were on the road again to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It was actually a pretty shitty town but we stayed in a fairly nice, clean area. We got to the hotel in time for the girls to go to bed. Not a fun day! The next day we woke up and went swimming and then took of for Dutch Wonderland, of course, we had to drive about 40 miles to get there. It was an amusement park for small children. The girls had a great time, although if they would have been a little more rested they would have had so much more fun. Great pics and great memories though! We were there for about 4 hrs and then drove around the Amish farms and saw an old covered bridge. We drove back and the girls quickly fell asleep, we had dinner at a brewery so Evan could enjoy some locally brewed beer. We made it back to the hotel again in time for bed time, the girls were exhausted. Evan actually took Ella swimming again for awhile hoping it would make it easier for Eva to fall asleep but it didn't. They came back shortly and Eva was still awake and they wanted to sleep together so we let them, it was the 1st time and so cute! We did move them when we went to bed bc they both move so much that they would wake each other through the night. We had to queen beds so we each slept with one of the girls, worked out well. We woke up and hit the road again to Hersey, Pennsylvania which was the highlight of the trip for me. Of course, it would be, right! Well it was only about 10 miles away and it was like a huge campus, full of things to do; an arena, an amusement park, factories, gift shops, and other stuff. We took a free tour which both girls loved, very informative and loud with dancing cows. We made our own chocolate bar, which Ella was psyhed about and Eva hated because she had to wear the hair net. And at this point the girls are so far beyond tired its a joke. They cry easily, are crabby, and don't listen. So I'm crabby at this point too but we still have all day to go in the car. It was pretty rough, Eva slept for maybe 1 hr and Ella didnt sleep the entire way home. We got home around 8pm and let the girls run around for awhile while we unpacked. In bed at 9pm hoping the morning wouldn't come forever. Well they were restless last night and woke for good at 8, which was NOT long enough. It usually does take awhile to get back to normal so slowly but surely we will catch up and just in time for Uncle David and Auntie Becky to arrive on Friday evening and G&G Lindahl on Saturday morning. The Columbus marathon is this next weekend where Evan and his dad are running the half-marathon. Wish them luck!
