Last Saturday, we woke up early and hit the road at 3:30am to go to Nauvoo to visit Aaron's folks on their mission and to see some other family. Blake was super excited to go so he didn't fall asleep in the car until 5am and then once the sun was up, he thought it was morning and didn't want to sleep anymore. We had a bunch of surprises and movies to keep them busy....and snacks. They did mostly great and Aaron's flight got in on time the night before.
One of the many bridges. Pretty sure this one was in Missouri.
We made one stop in Joplin and then arrived at our hotel a little before 3pm. We then went to Aaron's folks' house for dinner. Just 3 days earlier they moved from Carthage to Nauvoo. They, well, probably it was only Amy, who stayed up all night packing/unpacking getting ready for all of us to come. It worked out well that they got the transfer when they did, but it meant a lot of work for them. After dinner, we went to the church to see our niece, Ellie get baptized.
Here are the folks who were there:
Meesa and her kids (Trevor had to work)
Chelsea and Alma and their kids
Adam and Becki and their kids
Including Grandma and Grandpa, there were 21 of us. (Alma's sister and her family also came from Omaha for the baptism. Her little baby was 3 weeks old...that's a very nice aunt!)
We know that we have tall kids. The doctors keep telling us this, but well, we really noticed it when they were with their cousins. Gavin (the one in front of Amy in the green dress) is 4...Blake is 5. Ellie is 8. Gavin and Ellie aren't short kids either.
