Our Father's Day weekend

We had a very busy weekend, with buying a new van and celebrating Ben for Father's Day. This past year, we've been using Mom & Dad's van while they've been overseas in Europe for the year. We've really appreciated their generosity and enjoyed their van this year (so, Thanks, Mom & Dad!!!). They fly home in 2 weeks, so we had to go van shopping. We picked up our new van on Saturday. It is a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. It seems like it'll be a great van for us for years to come. It has some amazing perks (automatic doors, built in DVD, stow n go seats) and is definitely the nicest car we've ever owned. We had a fun time getting to play with it this weekend. The girls loved being able to open and close the doors with just the touch of a button! Here are some pictures of the van.


Then, on Sunday, we went to play Putt-Putt. We hadn't ever taken the girls before, so we thought it would be a fun excursion. It was a really neat place with a train theme. They have a little train you can ride around, and of course, ice cream to eat! We had a fun day. The girls did pretty well at playing mini-golf. Gracie got board with the golfing pretty quickly, and was mostly just running around, jumping up onto rocks and going over bridges. She would come back in and play a hole here and there, but mostly didn't play. Chloe on the other hand, did really well and played most of the game. They especially loved one hole where you get the ball into one hole and it goes underground and pops out 10 feet below at the hole. They enjoyed throwing their balls into the hole and then running down to see it come rolling out. Then, we got to ride the little train ride around the park (which was fun, and Julia LOVED).
