Weekend Road Trip

I got a call from my sister Susan looking for someone to help watch her kids for a few weeks. After talking with John we decided to come to her aid and we planed a road trip to pick up my nice and nephew.  Nick was away for training and Susan had a busy few weeks of school projects so are going to take Susan's 2 kids home with us for a few weeks. Kindly a friend in our Ward took Zach and Katie for the weekend so we only had Aaron in the car for our 13 hour ride to KY.

 We left very early in the morning and drove through the night and just as the sun came up we stopped at Cracker Barrel for breakfast.  It was a nice break from sitting in the car and Aaron had a fun playing the peg game at the table.

 We made one more stop for lunch before we made it to Susan's house.  My older brother Frank and his family were in TN that weekend so they decided to make the trip and met us at Susan's as well since it has been years since we have seen each  other. Shortly after we arrived Frank's family arrived and it was a wonderful afternoon visiting and watching the cousins play together.

This was the first time we met my brothers twin boys who are just over a year old and they really took to Aaron and the boys had fun playing together. At bed time Aaron went to lay down and watch a movie on the iPad when Jack decided he wanted to watch with him so he climbed up and sat with Aaron for a while.

Franklin noticed the fun his brother was having so he joined in the fun and climbed up and took his turn hanging out with Aaron.

After an evening of visiting together we all got up early and had a nice breakfast together, then we packed up the car and got ready to head home. We had a busy 24 hours at Susan's house but it was fun to spend time with both my brother and sister at the same time.  We put the kids in the car and Susan said a sad goodbye to her kids and we headed home.
