We took a family vacation to California to get out of the snow this year in March! It was wonderful having green grass, sunshine and rain, but no snow!! The girls love the fact that they didn't have to wear coats and snow pants.
The girls giving Erin jeep rides
What would a Swanson blog post be without a picture of a dead animal?
Lucas shot his first wild pig with a good family friend while we were there.
We also got a tour of Mrs. Grossman's Sticker factory. It was really nostalgic looking at all the stickers from over the years that Holly and I collected.
The girls went roller stating for the first time. They both were so excited to go, but our little perfectionist Audrey didn't have as much fun because she didn't like the fact that she couldn't do it perfect the first time.
Cora on the other hand didn't want anyone to help her and she fell a lot, but she was such a trooper. She kept telling me, "no mom, I want to do it myself."
This was one of the only times she held onto someone, Uncle Ryan's hand (who was the bomb to the girls).
Some fun game time with Gaga during the rainy days
The youngest cousins hanging out. Caleb called Erin, baby. He would walk around and call out for baby! It was adorable. I did have to win his heart over with Gummie Bear Vitamins (but it work)!
