Saying good bye

 After the girls left Sunday I packed for the kids and I to head up to Wisconsin the next morning. I wanted to make it back to Sheboygan so I could be with my grandma before she passed. The kids were great and I made it with out having to stop.  I was able to sit with family and hold her hand. Late that night she passed surrounded by her loved ones.  Even though she is no longer suffering and is in a better place it is still hard to say good bye.  She will be greatly missed.
Tuesday afternoon I drove back home.  The kids went to school Wednesday and I was able to get us repacked while they were there.  Thursday, we went back up to Sheboygan for the visitation and funeral services.  The kids were troopers with all the back and forth.
The upside was being with all our family.  It was nice to see the little ones have fun together.
 We had some time to let the kids swim before having to head out for dinner.
Here's big kid Chuck showing Carter and Audrey how much fun the slide is.
 Carter wasn't buying it and was scared to go down.  The kid will jump off a boat and diving board but was scared of the slide.  He went down anyway but only if we bought him an app for his kindle fire.  You gotta love his face coming down the slide.  He was all smiles that night picking out his app :)
 Friday night the family that was still in town went out for a fish fry.  Grandma loved going out for a fish fry on Fridays so that's what we all did.  It was good as always and nice to have that extra time with family.
 Audrey, Ava and Natalie had a blast together.  They had fun running around and dancing that night.
 Nora and Evelyn are only two days apart.  They looked so cute holding hands
 Pile up on Zach
 cousins!
The kids were able to get some sledding in at Grandma Debbie and Mike's house.  We haven't gotten enough snow to do this at home so they were thrilled and had a good time.
