We are back from our hot 'n humid trip to the midwest. It was our first July trip in a very long time and it was super fun and super HOT! We had a great time and saw tons of family. We split the trip into several legs and you can bet there will be multiple posts highlighting each of them. All in all, I would say this was one of our most fun trips yet and by far the easiest. The kids are older and easier to travel with, we didn't have to lug car seats, we didn't have to rent a car (thanks again Dad!) and we had plenty of people to help entertain the kids. It was extremely relaxing for both Brian and I. Just a few of my favorite moments were: our newly discovered obsession with pickle ball (proven by an 8 hour tournament), visiting my Grandma Ruby and continuing to be amazed by her memory at 98, watching multiple lightening storms, seeing Addy and Cameron dote on their baby cousin Etta and multiple magical evenings with fireflies (something we don't get to experience!)
The trip started by going to visit Brian's college friend Joe & his wife Amy who we hadn't seen in 4 years (since the week we moved to our current house!) So much had changed since then, including the addition of baby Maisie who is already a year and a half. We had a wonderful time with them and got to meet Maisie and see their house and awesome backyard and enjoy an incredible dinner. The kids loved feeding the ducks and finding frogs (or are they toads?) and finding leaves to throw in the fire. It was a great transition into vacation mode.
