First Road Trip



This weekend I took Cooper on his first long road trip, we went up to Hallock Minnesota to see my Grandma Gladys. Rob couldn't get off of work so thankfully my family went up as well. With all the people going we had to take two vehicles. It was so great, my Aunt Bev also flew up from Houston to go see Grandma as well. So in my car it was me, Mom, Bev, and Cooper. Christy, Adrian, Kaylin and Dad rode in Mom and Dad's truck. Thankfully we did have the truck. It's amazing how much stuff we needed to bring with for the kids! Both kids were amazingly good on the trip and we didn't have to stop as much as anyone figured we would have. We got up to EGF and visited with Peggy, Jerry, Ron and Leann before taking the last leg of the trip up to Hallock. We visited Grandma after dinner on Friday and got to enjoy the program at the nursing home with her. Everyone at the nursing home loved seeing the kids so much! Bev and I walked around to each table with Cooper and Kaylin so everyone could see them. Saturday before we went to visit Grandma, Dorothy and Laura stopped by our hotel room. Laura loves babies and helped both Christy and I out by holding the babies and even feeding Cooper. Ward, DeAnn, Nick and Morgan also stopped by and we were able to visit with them as well. Morgan loved holding the babies as well. Then we went to the nursing home to visit with Grandma and take the 4 generation pictures. That night went to Dorothy and Odeen's for dinner. A lot of my family members that live up there were there as well as my Uncle Chet who was in town from Michigan. It's always fun when everyone gets together. Sunday we went to see grandma again before we went home. It was so hard to say goodbye! I am just grateful we got up there so she could meet Cooper and Kaylin.
