While the 4 of us were on Trek, Avynlea and Rylee got to spend the week in McCall with their Grandma Alison and Cousins. The first part of the week it was Grandma Alison with just the older Cousins...Rylee, Avy, Mikayla, Allie, Brielle and Qiana. Allie and Mikayla couldn't go up the same day the rest of the group went so Bob flew them up in his plane the next day. The girls all enjoyed riding in the golf cart to go pick them up and Rylee had fun pretending to drive it. At one point the cart moved and the girls all jumped off nervous about what they might have done.
On the way back up to the house they passed a pasture filled with cows. Alison dared the girls to go touch a cow and said that if they succeeded she would give them $10. Allie, Rylee, Avy and Qiana were the ones brave enough to try. Poor Qiana couldn't make it over the fence but I love the shot they got of Avynlea dabbing as she jumped over. Turns out touching a cow is a lot harder then one would think. The cows would run away as they got close and not one of the girls succeeded. Alison finally had to call them back to the car but they each got $2 for their efforts.
Back at the house they decorated hiking bags and watched a tutorial on how to make bookmarks so they could make some at the same time. That was a fun craft project for these girls who all love doing crafts.
Alison next took the girls ice-skating which was a real treat at least for my girls. Avynlea always wants to go ice-skating when we are in McCall and we rarely do so she was in ice skating heaven.
Rylee, Brielle and Qiana
Rylee did not being a sweatshirt or a long sleeve shirt and when she got cold while skating her Grandma was nice to let her wear her sweater.
Brielle.Avynlea, Mikayla, Allie, Rylee and Qiana
Avynlea and Allie had a lot of fun showing off their fancy falls!
Once the skating was done the next item on the agenda was to get into their swimsuits and go play at Blackhawk lake. They had fun swimming around and jumping off the dock.
Alison had them line up in order of height and then in birth order for some pictures. I found it interesting that the only similarity in both pictures was Mikayla being the oldest and tallest and Qiana being the youngest and shortest.
After a fun filled day the girls got to spend some time relaxing in the hot tub, and having cups of ice is always a requirement to help cool one down when the hot tubbing gets too hot.
