Road Trippin

We ended our road trip with a visit to my friend Jenny's house. It was so good to see her and her cute family! We didn't take a picture which I'm so bummed about..... but Belen loved playing with her kids and animals.



We had such a great time on our road trip......but now I have a Hugh mess to clean up and put away. I also have to get Belen ready for school......it seems these days everything is happening so fast. Thanks to everyone who let us crash at there homes or had us over for visits.....we love ya all!Me, Grandma Adele, mom and Brock

My Brother Eric with us at Grandmas .....he is now retired from the Army after 18 yrs!
We stayed with him and Belen was all over him...she loved how much fun he was! Brock would laugh at everything he said and loved being held by uncle Eric when dad wasn't there.
