Weekend Getaway

Last weekend we took a little weekend trip to Springfield, MA. We stopped at the Yankee Candle Factory on the way. Believe it or not, it's one of the girls most favorite places to go. They love to look around at all the different seasonal decorations and more importantly, dip their own candles. We spent the rest of the weekend lazing around our hotel room while watching the Olympics, swimming in the hotel pool, and checking out the local malls for school clothes. We had such a fun time just hanging out as a family ~ nobody wanted to come home!

Mom, do we really have to take this picture?
Professional candle dippers
Cruising in the "convertible"
The type of guys Rick made the girls promise to NEVER bring home!

A favorite pastime NEVER allowed at home or if we are staying at YOURS!
One too many jumps on the bed and laps in the pool make for tired girls!
Daddy tortures the girls with early morning wake-up pictures. (Alexis got annoyed, Julee just ignored...)
Cool kids!
