Great! Here are some pictures of our trip.
We had great weather while we were there, but it did rain a bit now and then. Mitchell didn't have a problem with the rain!
"Look, Mommy. No hands." Yep - little Maverick has learned to sit on his own...for a short time. In fact, he catapulted backwards just as soon as I snapped this picture. Thank God for soft grass :)
It took us nearly 10 hours to make the 7 hour trip home today...our longest stop was in Story City, Iowa where we let Mitchell ride the carousel. He wanted to try every animal!
Daddy picked out a popsicle for Mitchell to enjoy in the park.
Before
After - whoa was this a mess! A fun mess though. He enjoyed it and it's nothing a bath and a little spray n' wash can't cure!
"Did that sign just say we still have 160 miles to go?" :(
Maverick enjoyed some time with Aunt Kel while Mitchell tried out a new park.
Aunt Kel's new dog. Welcome to the family, Hawk.
We spent lots of time outdoors, so this little hat got lots of use. I love how it matches his eyes :)
Swinging with Grandma is the best :)
We found a local place to pick some organic strawberries. It was the end of the season, but we still found some juicy ones....and had lots of fun doing it!

Mommy & Mitchell show off their berries.
Daddy too...
Obviously, Mitchell had to sample some. Yep, they were good enough to buy.
Grandma and Maverick were excited to see Mitchell's bounty.
Maverick wasn't too good at strawberry hunting...but he sure loved being carried around outside!
"Here's a good one, Daddy."
We gave Maverick his first bite of baby cereal while we were there. He was NOT a fan, in fact, I'm not sure he digested any of it.
Look how slim and trim our chubby man has gotten!!!!
He likes to call Gracie (my parent's dog) Gracio. Who knows where he came up with that ending :)
Beautiful baby and beautiful yard!
I DO NOT LIKE GREEN EGGS AND HAM!
A few minutes later, he was good as new :)

He is a doggy lover...sometimes a little too much!

Grandpa Bays set up a tent for Mitchell to play in! He loved it!
What a fun, long weekend!!!!

Wow, what a great getaway! I remember what a big adventure it was to go to my dad's parents' house and non-working farm; just so many adventures! I think Mitchell is enjoying all the adventures at his Grandma and Grandpa Bays' house! And, gotta love baby driving pictures. Those never fail to get a laugh!
Great photos! That carousel hauls, huh?? We took two rides on it and I had to get off. Love the baby driving pic, to!
