This past week, Keagan and Rileys nine days with their dad and Grandma Debbie who were visiting from Hawaii did not start out too well. On the girls actual birthday, Saturday October 14th they were scheduled to see their Hawaii family bright and early. Instead Miss Riley and I spent the day at the doctor and then napping because she tested positive for strep throat. At least Keagan spent the afternoon getting a new set of golf clubs, her first golf bag and then testing them out at Top Golf! That’s more like it! 

After a rough start and some good antibiotics, by Sunday the week of partying began! The crew was all SO happy to see eachother after a full year and they were back at their favorite Marriott Residence Inn all together. Besides late nights, the hair styling situation, skipping two days of school and Riley refusing to take her medicine, they really had such a fantastic week! They did lots of swimming, go carts, arcade, put put, and shopping. They rode two different types of trains and Keagan did the trampoline bungee! They visited animals, cooked together and celebrated their birthday! Riley was thrilled to have them at her baseball game and her dad was her buddy on the field!  Their dad and Grandma even brought them lunch at school on Friday! It was fun, fun, fun for a full week of quality time with their dad and Grandma. 

I know how truly important and cherished this time is for the girls and I am really so thankful they are able to do this! This quality time and these relationships could never be replaced and we all wish it could happen more often! 

While they were off having a fantastic time, their mom had a good week as well. Besides REALLY missing my girls I got some great sleep but also stayed out WAY too late including playing Settlers with the Frenchs til 4am- twice! I had dinners with several friends and crossed some things off the to do list that had been waiting a while. You know I really loved the extra sleep but my favorite part of the week was getting amazing texts from Miss Keagan on her iPad! I was thankful to see the girls at school and all three of us were thrilled when they came home! They had an amazing week but we were all ready to get back together and back to our regular routine! Aloha!
