GR Trip

For UEA/Fall break we went to GR and I promised my sister a good blog when we got back. So here it is. I finally have the mail sorted, luggage was unpacked yesterday (yes mom, even my laundry was all hung and put away in the closet), I have all my e-mails updated and the fridge has been restocked. So now I can blog.

We had a blast in GR visiting my family. I got to see everyone but one brother-in-law, one niece, and one nephew. We played games, watched videos, and of course talked. One high light of our GR trips is always the wildlife we will see. Usually they are in my parents back yard but that actually only happened once this trip. If you look across the street the deer just passed the white vehicle in the driveway. The kids loved it! This is the sister closest to me in age.


Another plus about our trips is my parents new garage. My dad insulated it and put a pellet stove in the corner. It gets pretty toasty in their sometimes. It makes it nice for meals and a place for the kiddoes to play.

This is my oldest brother. Everyone else is an in-law or niece/nephew.


MJ is kind of weird. While the rest of us ate in the garage at a table my daughter decided to eat outside. I put her on the ground and came back to see that grandpa had taken care of her. Yes, she ate her entire meal outside by herself. Now I think that's weird but I still love her to pieces.


This is my mom and brother.


My oldest sister.


The one in bright orange is ME. This is a regular family occurrence for us. Yes, I'm always on bottom. Don't ask me how that works out because I don't have a clue.


We had a blast on our days off. It's good to be home again in my own bed but I miss my family already.
