Girls on holiday!

Remember how Brad and I were able to travel to Europe and have the most wonderful trip together back in June? And how everyone asked us about the girls and what in the world we did with them?

Well, we sent them off for the Best Time Ever, obviously.

For the first 6 days we were gone, the girls stayed in Tennessee with Brad's parents. Here are a few highlights:

These were our last few moments with them before heading out:

After we left, Lily climbed things:

They visited the "water iPad":

They visited Ray Ray and the zoo in Knoxville:

They bounced and jumped (and climbed) at the soft play place:

And they swam, dirtied clothes, and ate things. They had a blast!

For the last 6 days we were gone, the girls stayed in Alabama with my parents. Here are a few highlights:

Lily climbed things:

They swam:

They played in the yard (wearing a tiara, obviously):

They visited with my sister, my aunts/uncles/cousins/cousins' kids, visited Bridgestreet (with fountains and a splash pad), enjoyed visiting with friends at church, and ate things (especially Mexican food):

The girls had a wonderful time with both set of grandparents, and we are so grateful for their willingness and generosity to keep the girls so that Brad and I could have such an incredible opportunity. Thank you, parents!
