Road trip!

Griffin experienced his longest car ride yet this past weekend. We journeyed to Topeka to see Great Grandma Delores before her knee replacement this week. Griffin fell asleep shortly after leaving our house Friday night around 7:30.......and then woke up shortly after picking up Aunt Shiloh in Joplin 2 hours later. He was awake for the entire drive. He mostly snacked on cereal, played with a beef stick bought at a Quiktrip in Lawrence at 1am, you know, the usual stuff a small child does in the middle of the night. It didn't take long to put him to bed (about 2:30am) and he made up for it by sleeping in until almost 10am the next morning.

We enjoyed an early Thanksgiving meal and spending time with 2 family members we rarely see--not pictured is Aunt Kittie. Photo session before heading home......

Four generations

The trip home took a lot longer with many stops: horse shopping, furniture shopping, Griffin clothes shopping, urgent care, dinner. We left about 10:30am and got home around 9pm. Griffin did really well once again, but was definitely ready to be out of the car. 

And of course, anytime Aunt Shiloh is around we have to take some silly reverse camera shots.
