Spring Break 2013

This was our first year to have a child with a Spring Break. Thankfully, Wesley's and John Mark's fell on the same week, so we took a road trip! Our final destination was Kentucky to visit all of our old friends, but we had a fantastic break in our travels on the way up and on the way back in Missouri with my cousin Erin and her family.

Braums!

Gus and Wesley playing Legos - a mutual passion.

The same day we arrived, so did 3 puppies!
They only ended up keeping one, but we got
to be there for the craziness of all three. It
was hard not to take one home. Libby
took the responsibility of puppy-tending

seriously. She had to protect them from

Curtis!

We spent two nights in Missouri on the way up and then headed off to Kentucky. We drove most of the day and showed up around 9:00 pm at our friends' house where some girls (and their families) from a Bible study I used to be a part of gathered to hang out. I'm pretty sad we didn't get a picture of everyone. It was so wonderful to see them all and get to laugh with them. We didn't take many pictures at all in Kentucky. It was a whirlwind of a trip!

Our friends, Tony and Jenn, let us stay in their basement.
Wesley and Curtis had a great time playing with their
kids, Joel and Eliah.

We spent one day in Taylorsville and spent the whole day visiting our friends from Little Mount. We visited eight families at their homes and then met up with our old Sunday night eat-out crew at Penn Station for supper and then went to Homemade Pie and Ice Cream for dessert. I also got to see my old boss and fellow PA friend for lunch at their new practice, (which I really enjoyed!) while John Mark took the boys to a toy store that one of his good friend's (and old fellow pastor) owns. Whew! That was a full day, and we even got a nap in for Curtis!

Wesley and Curtis got to nuzzle with horses
at one of our friends' houses.

We got to see sweet Lois - the only picture
we took among all of our visits.

When we came back through Missouri, Wesley and Curtis couldn't wait to see their cousins again. We got in after bedtime, but the next morning Wesley got some treehouse time with Gus, and Curtis got some more puppy lovin' before hitting the road again. 

The good-bye picture. Libby was at school.

Thankfully, John Mark's parents took care of Owen while we were gone, so we got to see them coming and going as well!
