To Grandma's House We Go

We just got back from the best 2 weeks ever!  We loaded up the whole fam and drove to Indiana for a full two weeks of family fun!  We woke up early to hit the road and Ava was so excited!


Ava loved having her pups with her for the drive and despite throwing up a few times she never cried!





Day 2 of driving :)




We made it to Grandma's house!

Time for a popsicle and a Ranger ride!




A few hours after we got there Rylee, Holland, and Ellee got there!  
We were all so excited to be together!
















My mom invited family over Friday night and Ava, Holland, and Lucy made a dessert :)







Matt and I headed to Southern Illinois for a wedding and then to Bloomington for a night while Sara and Rylee took the girls to Indiana Beach to meet up with Grandpa Knapp and Patty!  
Ava is still talking about all of the rides :)






When we got back from Bloomington we had a week and a half left and had the best time!







Ava and Lucy would go "fishing" with the dog leashes :)



Ava found this turkey feather on a Ranger ride and it is currently hanging on our fridge :)











Grandma kept Ava for an afternoon and Matt, Sara, and I had some FUN!







For the 4th of July we swam, roasted marshmallows, and Matt did some Fireworks!






Since it stays dark so late, Ava loved looking out the bedroom window before bed.  When she saw this deer on our last night she said, "This is amazing!!".


After 2 weeks of fun we packed up to head home.  You can tell this smile is a little forced because she was not excited about leaving her Grandma :(



She did great on the drive again and Friday night we made it HOME!


Thank you to Grandma, Papa, and Aunt Sara for welcoming us and taking the time to play with us for 2 weeks.  We had the best trip ever and are so thankful for the summer-time memories we get to make each year with you!
