Grannie and PaPa even enjoyed some of the rides

Chloe enjoyed eating more than picking.

Big Truck Day in town. . .it was the weekend that Uncle Joe decided to visit. . .how exciting to see school buses, fire trucks, etc.
They can hardly wait to ride the school bus--we will remind them of this when they are teenagers.
Driving the big trucks

Well. . it has been a long time. We have a little catching up to do! This summer has been filled with fun trips and great visitors. We are getting ready for a big move and can hardly wait.

Chloe on the plane to Kansas City for the family reunion. . .never knew planes could be so exciting.
