our A-Frame Getaway...

The A-Frame
It was a great getaway to a small town outside of Galena!!
Evan's parents have an A-Frame house and it is always WONDERFUL to escape reality for a few days! Evan and I have not been to the house since November... it was great to get back. The Lord refuels in ways I haven't found elsewhere when we go there. This was Aubrey's 3rd time visiting and this was a time I believe she will remember....

Aubrey's first of MANY times in the hammock!
She loved swinging as fast as she could and would belly laugh the faster it went!
Aubrey wore a jacket for the first time and was OBSESSED!
She liked the zipper and wanted to wear the hood the entire time it was on.
We went for MANY walks and she enjoyed some more than others :D


Everyone is staring at vines that have overtaken many trees in the area and I guess Aubrey was pondering them as well.
A tribute to Bethany and Brennan...
We still had marshmallows left over from the Lake House and they were enjoyed
while sitting by the campfire!
Nana and Bumpa have a weed pulling game they like to play...
Bumpa was taking Aubrey on weed pulling trips and explaining the point values for the different weeds. I think she just enjoyed the yanking them out of the ground portion of the game.
We walked through a wooded area and to a field that overlooked many farms in the area... it was Beautiful!

We found CORN!!

Nana brought crackers in case we saw deer, but Aubrey spotted them.
What else would a grandma do than give the crackers to her grand child?!?!?
OOOHHHHHH Aubrey!
Daddy was heping Aubs make things with her Play-Dough


Nana was coloring with Aubrey while Evan and his dad did something manly for the day...
The manly activity....
A tree fell and they needed to dispose of it... so grab you power saw


Aubrey enjoying another relaxing day! CHEESE!
My dad gave this chair to Evan's parents and I thought it was fun when Aubrey wanted to climb in to recline. A little bit of PopPop at the A-Frame!
