Rock On .
On Saturday Jeff, Grace, Ava and I spent the evening rock climbing with the Martinsens at Vertical Endeavors in Duluth! It was such a GREAT TIME! Jen and I loved rock climbing when Mea and Grace were first born, and it was SO GREAT to now watch them and our youngest love it as much as us!! This was the girls first time rock climbing and THEY LOVED IT!!! It was hard to get them to leave! We will definitely come back again soon!! I still remember my first time indoor rock climbing- my senior class lock in ALL NIGHT party at the brand new community center!! I will never forget, and I know these kids won't either!! Thank you Hank, Jen, Mea and Henry for being as CRAZY as our family we sure are blessed to call you our friends!
I sure LOVE these girls... They never complained ONCE about having to wait in LONG lines, or begged to do anything extra, never asked for anything to buy- even though things to buy are constantly being pushed their way! They truly were thankful to be where they were and kepted saying thank you over and over again!!! We LOVED walking in the grass with our shoes off and smelling each flower we saw through the whole entire week!!! I will never forget this amazing family trip and how thankful I was to share it with these sweet kiddos!!
~No Lack of Character Here~
We were able to meet a lot of Ava and Grace's favorite Disnet Characters in Epcot! It was a wonderful day we will never forget. We went on so many fun rides, and tried many new foods, and saw many dances and performances in each world!! So amazing!!!
~All Thing GREAT and Small~
Killer Whales are so amazingly beautiful and magnificent!! The beauty and wonder that God has created in this world puts me in constant AWE of His amazing talent!! WOW is ALL I have to say!!Dolphin Love
We all fell in LOVE with dolphins a little more after these moments of feeding and petting the dolphins! What a DREAM COME TRUE!!! I can't wait to have the girls get in the water with them and swim someday! There is no words to describe that feeling!!A Day at Sea World
We were able to spend a day at Sea World on our trip to Florida!! It was unbelievable!! WE LOVED ALL THE ANIMALS, and learned a lot about each one!!!! It was so wonderful! Grace really wants to be a vet and being here made her want to help animals that much more!
Ava liked to call Shamou- Shampoo it was adorable!!!

~Magic Kingdom Parades~
There are a few parades to see when you spend the day at Magic Kingdom. The is the Block Party Parade- where the characters actually come out and dance with you, the nighttime Electrical Parade where everything is lit up in SO spectacular, Time of Your Life Parade all of them are so wonderful! They LOVED each one!! ~Dreams Come True~
One of the girls favorite parts of the Magic Kingdom is the Dreams Come True performance in front of Cinderellas castle! It takes
your breath away all the adventure, beauty and awe! The girls never blinked once... until the witch came on the stage and I had to cover Ava's eyes just for a minute!

Florida OR BUST!!
We were SO excited to get to fly with daddy to Florida for a week. He had seminars for a couple days! It was SO nice to feel the grass and smell the flowers!! The girls were worried about not bringing their hats, jackets or boots... their fears were quickly gone as soon as we landed--WARMTH!!!! This was Ava's first time flying and she did wonderful!!! She was not scared ONE bit! Our smaller plane needed work so they switched our flight to a much larger overseas plane. Because there was SO much extra room the sweet fight attendant let us sit in first row so we could all be together!! It was amazing how much leg room the first row have! Just a very little taste of what first class might feel like? We didn't have to worry about the kiddos kicking the seats of the people ahead of us! The way home we had a normal size plane and the kids did great!! Wednesday, March 16, 2011
All Good Things Come to an End!
Grace LOVED Nordic Kids this Winter. She can't wait for next year. She was able to make it to the last lesson and she skied her heart out one last time. They did a scavenger hunt and found treats and pretzels along the trail and she went up and down some of the hills that the older kids have only done with ease and confidence. She has learned so much this year about good skiing form, perseverance, and how to have fun on cross country skis!! Grace was given the title- Miss Sure and Steady!! She skied a total of 30k this season- with all of her lessons, skiing on daddy's home made ski trails, and Mommy's homemade ski course it was a year we will never forget!! THANK YOU NORDIC KIDS!!!
