The Surprise Visit!!

Last week we took a spring break trip to Rochester, Minnesota, of all places, and surprised our long-lost friends that used to live next door to us in Baltimore. They had no idea we were coming and it was hallarious to see their reactions when we showed up. Only the Cheneys would still be our friends after pulling a prank like that.

Ryley and Saffi, reunited again!!
They even had to sleep in the same bed they were so excited to be together.
Jensen and Schaffer got to be buddies too. Painting eachother's toe nails is a fun thing to do.

And we finally got to meet Violet, the recent addition to the Cheney family!




Trying out the Fly-Bar. It's a Mega pogo stick. Tons of fun.



We also got to go see how to tap maple syrup trees. It was really interesting! Did you know that it takes 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of maple syrup? We tasted the sap right out of the tree and it's not sweet at all. It's like water. Not what I was expecting.



We had promised the girls we were going to go swimming, but the pool wasn't open, so we let them wear their swimming suits to the bouncy gym.
It was a trip worthy of a "commemorative pose"

We love the Cheneys!! Yeah!!

What a fun surprise and glad they were up for it. I can't believe how big Jensen looks. I love the picture of the girls asleep in the same tiny bed, too cute.
