Sadie's First Road Trip!

Things sure have been busy for the family! Sorry there hasn't been an update in a while, but we do have lots to share with you!

First, the trip to see Grandma Boer was nice! It was nice to get away even if for just a few days. As I said before, the kids and I had not met Grandma Boer yet and she is just the sweetest person ever. She is a doll! We also got to meet two of Chris' Uncles--Tom and Rick, and they are pretty funny. We met a cousin Jerome, and a nephew whos name escapes me at the moment. A lovely bunch of folks! We stopped in Des Moines and had lunch at Cheddars pn the way to Ottumwa. We don't have a Cheddars here so we made sure to go somewhere we don't ever get to go. We only stayed one night because a winter blizzard was supposed to hit us the next day and we didn't want to be stuck four hours away from home. We did hit some pretty bad weather on the way back near Des Moines but it cleared up a few miles out. We thought about stopping in Des Moines, but not because of the weather, but because New Kids on the Block were playing that night. Much to my disappointment, we didn't stop, and made it home safe and sound. There was not a speck of snow in Council Bluffs. So much for the 8 inches we were supposed to get. :D

Sadie had a lot of "firsts" on our trip, too! She got to try swimming for the first time, as well as new foods. She has become a huge fan of chocolate pudding and biscuits and gravy! She was not a fan of the swimming pool, but that's probably because it was a little cold--it was even too cold for Mom & Dad! She did enjoy the hot tub and much to our surprise it was the perfect temperature for Sadie!

Unfortunately, Isaiah and Kai did not join us on our trip because they were with their Dad the weekend we went. We have been invited back this summer for camping & we are definitely looking foward to that! Well, not so much me, but the boys and Chris are! I'm really not a "rough it" type person. I function best with indoors with air conditioning and electricity. :-)

Next time we'll share details from our roller skating outing. It was quite fun, even if everybody spent more time on the floor than actually skating! No broken bones! Thank goodness!
