driver dad on a mission.
finding ways to amuse himself (and us!) on the long ride.
story time at the hotel. 5 nights in two different hotels. so glad to be back in our own beds!
matt's dad's side of the family....all 25 of us.
matt's grandmother, great nanny rita. she is his mother's mother, so not a part of this reunion, but happens to live very close by so we ventured to visit her...twice.
rita is the children's only living great grandparent. such a treat it was to get to spend time with her!
both sienna and jasper were so sweet and gentle with great nanny. sienna loved to walk beside her, supporting her with her own sweet hand. jasper would sit beside her and *pet* her arms.
jasper had his first sparkler experience in aunt lynn's yard with poppa hum. at nearly the same age, four years ago, sienna marveled at her first sparklers in this very same place with poppa.
the new river gorge national park in west virginia provided the perfect place to get out and explore on the journey back home.
lots of writing and drawing helped to keep this gal occupied for much of the trip.now to get all those bags unpacked and work on getting settled back in around here! i will share more (color) photos of our journey soon. hope you all enjoyed a lovely weekend yourselves. i will be popping in soon to see what you have been up to.
