A Whirlwind of a Trip

Well, we all survived the trip to VA and back. This is how it went:


Friday: 5:00 p.m. we left


1:30 a.m. we arrived in Indianapolis to stay at the motel

Saturday: 9:30 a.m. we left the hotel to head to Pennsylvania


3:30 p.m. we arrived at our destination in PA: Camp Canaan


Sunday: Gregory ended up preaching both services since the Pastor was in the hospital


8:00 p.m. we leave for VA


12:01 a.m. we arrive in the driveway of Nana's house


Monday-Wednesday:
We slept in and ate lots of good food. Benjamin had his first experience in a pool:

Here he is before the first dip in the pool.

The sun was out, but the water still felt a little chilly. Mommy enjoyed the swim too.

Benjamin liked the water and playing with the balls.

Grandma got in the pool with Benjamin for a while too.

Thursday-Friday:
There was another birthday party for Benjamin on Friday at Great-Grandma Bowling's house:

Even on the second-go-round at the candle on the cake deal, Benjamin

was still a little hesitant to get near the candle

After blowing out the candle (with a little help) we discovered

why he was so upset: his long blonde eyelashes got singed!

Benjamin over came his fear of cake and indulged in a

whole piece of cake with lots of sugary icing

Our Return Home:

Saturday: 9:00 a.m. We left Grandma Bowling's house

Around 2:30 we stopped at a rest stop and had a picnic lunch (complements of Grandma Bowling).

8:00 p.m. We arrived at another hotel to spend the night.

Sunday:

We slept in, had continental breakfast, and drove from about 10:00 a.m. to about 3:30 p.m. Mommy was VERY glad to see the apartment. Bejamin went down for a nap and so did Mommmy. Daddy took the time to relax and catch a little nap too.
