Last Tuesday we started on a trip to Grandma Snyder's. We had been anxiously awaiting this trip all summer. My little brother and his wife were getting ready to have their first baby, and the second cousin for my kids on my side of the family. We decided to go when we did because she was being induced Wed. morning. Their baby is adorable, and Koen and Kai just LOVED him. Koen kept pointing out how small everything was, and Kai went from calling him a her to an it to finally that baby, but never his name, Bryken. I wasn't able to go when my sister had her little girl, so it was nice to be there this time.
Heather happened to be there too, so there was lots of cousin fun. Most of the time Kael and Pyper (since they are 3 monhs apart) were either rivals or buddies. I got one picture of them when they were buddies.
One of my very favorite parts of the trip was visiting my grandparents. All the memories of my childhood at their house come back every time I see my children there. Great Grandma even had ice cream bars in the freezer, which is something thart I remember from my childhood. The kids thought it was absolutely great running free in their big backyard, and rolling around in the blue barrels Great Grandpa has in the backyard. I am just so blessed to have my grandparents alive to make memories with my children, and I hope that one day they can look back and remember who their great grandparents were. They are two of the most amazing people I have ever known!
Once all that fun was had the kids found their Halloween costumes they had left at grandma's and Havyn ended up being from Hollywood, and Kai was a cowboy. They wore the costumes almost all the way home. Kai even fell asleep with his bandana still around his neck!
