Our week at BeBe and Papa's was pretty quiet but so relaxing.  I was spoiled and didn't have to cook a meal or do any laundry which makes me relax!

We spent most of the week on the farm with an excpetion of one day where we went to "town" about 45 minutes away.  I enjoy shopping at a few stores we don't have here and it was fun shopping with my mom. 

Samantha especially loved spending time with Papa outside with the turkeys.  In fact, they day we were going shopping she wanted to stay home with Papa to work.  One day I took her out to help and she stayed with Papa for over 1 1/2 hours all by herself.  When she was ready to go back to the house he called my mom who watched Samantha walk back to the house all by herself. 

The next week Blake, Samantha and I spent another almost 2 hours helping Papa.  Samantha became quite the pro and loved her special time with Papa.

Blake enjoyed helping BeBe in the kitchen.  If she was cooking he was the cupboard helping her. 

We headed back on Thursday and thankfully we had great roads again.  We made a few more stops and made the trip in about 10 hours.

While on the farm Samantha learned how to zip her jacket and how to blow up balloons.  Now she just wants to blow up every balloon she can find and if she can't find any she'll want us to buy her more.

With the exception of one night, I think Blake slept through the night while we were there and Samantha stayed dry all night--these are two BIG accomplishments and I just hope we can keep them up!

The kids and I were so surprised to come home to a decorated house!  Travis had put streamers and ballons everywhere welcoming us home, he even included gifts for all of us (including rose and chocolates for me!)
