We got to Grandad's House!

Well we arrived at Grandad's house! I don't have a long time to write and I don't have any pictures, but I'm going to tell you what has happened so far!

We were aiming to leave at 9:00 in the morning but that turned out to be 10:00 in the morning. Between stops and traffic it took a little over six hours but it was a good trip besides:
1: Ben not being a very good travler....
2: Rose flipping out a few times......
3: Some big traffic...........
4: and a few people feeling sick.

But now we are here and John Paul and Max have already, found a snake hole, almost caught a frog, took out lots of toys downstairs, started to explore the woods AND ran around playing with "panther" the stuffed panther that they love! Grandad and G have a stuffed Koala and Max has one too. Their stuffed has pink paws and so Max declared it a "girl"and his koala has gray paws so Max has declared that the two Koala's are "married". It is very cute to see him walking around with the two koala's.

G has prepared a wonderful mean for us so I must go, but I will keep you all updated!

P.S.
I almost forgot, in the car we gave Ben is very first dose of sugar, a lollipop, he LOVED it! It kept him happy for a while! Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN!! Ben is now ONE!!!!! We will celebrate with cake and ice cream after dinner!

Boy, I can relate to a trip like this! Fortunately, Mary Kate, you take things in stride as the oldest child. Please give Benny a big birthday kiss from us! We are so glad that he is feeling better. Aunt Lorrie

Happy Birthday Benny! And I'm glad you got your first taste e of sugar. But beware! It can get quite addicting!

I'm glad you folks have been having fun at Grandads, though I'm sorry some people got sick on the way there. :(
