We are originally from West Virginia and both of our families still live there. It's a good 7.5 hour drive from here in the south. We have always tried to visit often, because hubby and I both had the privilege of growing up close to our grandparents. We wanted that relationship for our children, as much as possible. That means we pack up every couple of months or so and head north to Grandma and Papaw's house. Fortunately, my dad just lives about 35 minutes from them!!!
This past weekend, the boys didn't have a football game and I didn't have to work. You know what that means? ROAD TRIP!!! It's hard to get anywhere in the fall with football going strong!! I packed up the school work with our luggage and off we went!!
Here are a couple pics of the good times at Grandma's!! We did our school work, helped Grandma do some seasonal work to get ready for the cold weather, and we also had a lot of fun! Which, of course, is what you're suppose to do at Grandma's!!
Some scenes from the van. So thankful for our passenger van. I don't know if all those kiddos would arrive anywhere in one piece and without tears if they had to sit closer together for the entire trip. Let's not forget about Mommy's sanity as well.
A little fun time outside after carrying lawn furniture to the storage building. The kids played some dodge ball for PE. Hubby knocked some leaves off of the trees and the kids tried to catch them. Those are just a couple of the memories I captured on my phone.
We also did a fall birthdays party. That includes Mini-Me, who turned 5 in September, and Mr Gamer who will be 14 this month!! They are growing up way too fast.
Such cuties, though I think they've had enough pictures snapped for now!!
Check back to get a peak at their Autumn Leaves lap book the girls put together.
We're having a great school year so far.
