We did it again!! Five days in Missouri visiting Travis' family. The scenery - beautiful, the weather - not so bad, the family - awesome as always...but needless to say, being in a "new" place with an 18 month old was not what I would call a vacation.
They both did great on the plane rides...better than both mommy and daddy. Ella just loves everything about traveling. She loves the airport, the plane, and even the shuttle bus to the rental car...she told us that she wants to be a shuttle bus driver when she grows up.
She loved playing with her cousins, staying on a farm, traveling from house to house and meeting new people. Jonah loved all those things too but he has to be watched at all times with the stairs and unfamiliar surroundings so it was quite exhausting for Travis and I. All I kept telling myself though was this was hopefully the last time it would be as stressful....next year he will be 2.5, and much more independent....we hope :)
Here are the many pics....although I always miss out on a lot of the fun stuff - this time that was Joe Gunn's graduation party. It was such a fun party with lots of great family. I don't even think I brought my camera...bummer.
Four wheeling with daddy
Bailey was dying to feed Jonah
Ella could definitely be a farm girl one day....if not a shuttle bus driver :)
Ella and Bailey went off on the "Gator" with Melanie to go check on the cows and Ella's biggest story of her whole trip was that, "A cow pooped in my face!!"
A perfect day to fly a kite
I don't know if "cheesy" is even the right word for this smile....he really was just so excited about being outside the whole time. AND he loves having this monkey on his back.
Jonah couldn't wait to go four wheeling too.
Best cousins...ok and once again a bit of a size difference
another fun Missouri creature
Jonah would be great in a parade...always waving :)
the girls were stuck like glue...I have no clue what is so shocking to Ella
family moment...minus one
Ella even got to work the farm a bit
The kids filling the cow's water basin...love this pic!
Travis' cousin, Cynthia, and Jonah

This is what you see as you walk out the back deck to Greg's Aunt Beverly's house. It is on a bluff, 400 ft above a river....beautiful, but needless to say, mine and Travis' paranoia was in full force.
