while my husband pretended to be the taliban and got shot at with paintballs

So my rad sister in-law Amber called me up exactly 2 weeks ago and said something like this: "Hey! Our husbands will both be out of town next week. Let's go to Indiana!"

And I said something like this: "Okay!"

And our husbands (who are brothers) said something like this: "You're crazy!"

Crazy maybe, but we had a smackin' good time. Among our many exploits were:

:: playing in Grandma's barn ::

:: catching, terrorizing holding, and losing a frog  ::

:: popsicles after church (pants optional) ::

:: a grandma-endorsed water-spitting fight ::

:: the most extraordinary (cinnamon sugar-dipped caramel, ho.ley.mo.ley.) donuts on miss maren's birthday
(and her looking sideways to make sure no one's coming up from behind) ::

:: swimming with cousins at auntie sarah's house (another rad sister in-law) ::

:: cousin wyatt, showing us how it's done ::

:: maren loved her new swimmy too much to get it wet, obviously ::

:: fun dip, wall-e, and popcorn ::

:: sweet aqua doors at the super 8 in pennsylvania ::

:: home! and way too pooped for clothes ::

(Such) a good time was had by all.

Thank you Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Tyson, Aunt Amber, and all our cool cousins! *Loves!*
