While Cam was gone for a weekend in March we took a little trip with my mom for the day to see my grandpa in Rockford. For some reason, I didn't get any pictures of the girls with him but of course had to get one of the girls on the dala horse at the Stockholm Inn.

And we also finally (4 years later!) brought home this desk. My Grandma had told me she wanted me to have it since I was the only one of her grandchildren who was a teacher. She was a teacher as well and from what I have heard over the years, she had a challenging job, teaching in overcrowded schools in a low-income neighborhood but she really cared about what she did and made a big impact on a lot of students lives. What a special reminder of her love for others. The girls have loved using it!

And the following week was TV Tune Out. Gwen had the opportunity to take a free tennis lesson which was great timing to see if she would be interested in taking lessons this summer. She really had a great time and even if we don't end up doing formal lessons for her, its still nice to know that she enjoyed it. Tennis is a sport that both Cam and I enjoy (although I'm not very good and don't play as often as I would like) so hopefully as the kids get older, it can become a fun thing that we can all do together!

We also tried out bowling which neither of the girls had done before.

Towards the end of the night :)
