They also had bumper boats they got to ride around in and shoot water at each other and race around in go-karts.
But it wasn't completely fun and games on their trip. They helped Grams with a few things around the property. Grams recently got a horse from one of her neighbors. They girls liked to go out and feed her and brush her down. They got to put a saddle on her once, but she has not really been ridden much so it is still in training.
They also helped mow the grass on the property. Grams had a riding mower that the girls took turns going over the property.
Emily even made a spaghetti dinner for them once. The other girls helped a little in chopping up some of the vegetables. Grams had her made a ton of sauce so they had plenty of leftovers for another meal. Grams overdid it on one of the days. She was tired and dehydrated so she turned in early and the girls took it upon themselves to have the leftovers for dinner, feed the horse, get the mail and clean up. Emily also made breakfast one morning for the girls when Grams took Uncle Mark to the dentist. If they wanted to help out with anything else, they almost had to sneak around behind Grams' back to help do the dishes and stuff. Grams wanted to do everything for them and didn't let them help too much and the stories of the girls sneaking around was super funny.

On one of the days, they went to the local farmer's market. Cheri bought a small intricate statue of a lighthouse for her cousin Debbie. They got to try a few things. Supposedly they got us some really tasty honey, but they girls did't remember to bring it back with them.
