We got there late the first day, so we just got a hotel room and hung out there, then the next morning we went to see my Grandma! It was the first time she was meeting Isabella.
Then Isabella and I went off to see my Dad, Aunt Frankie and Uncle Bob. Also their first time meeting her! We hung out there for a bit, and they have a lot of those animated stuffed animals, so Isabella loved playing with those! Then we left to go to dinner at Bob Evans, where Isabella got some smiley faced potatoes for dinner that were pretty cute! Then we went to Wal-Mart cause my Aunt wanted to buy us some things, they got Isabella some cute butterfly clips, a new outfit and a toy vaccuum. Then they got me a new Cardinals t-shirt, since ya know, they're the greatest baseball team ever, and the new book by Stephanie Meyer, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, which I finished and is really good! Then we went back to my Aunt and Uncle's house and hung out there until we went to sleep. Then we had to get up to go back to the hotel to meet up with my Mom and Aunt Debby before check out. (They only had two nights at that hotel because the Miss Missouri pageant was happening! haha) So we got some pictures, and Isabella and I headed back.
Then we got back and I picked them up and we went to our new hotel, then went to see my Grandma again, then went to the store to pick some things up for her. Then we took Isabella to the park, since she LOOOOOOOVES swings! She loved the baby swing, but she really likes swinging on someone's lap since the person swinging can go higher than she can in the baby swing. She also went down the slide for the first time by herself. It kinda scared her the first time, and then she loved it the next few times, but she was tired, so she started just crying as she went down.
The next day, my Aunt Sharon came to visit, so we took my Grandma out to lunch and to get some new outfits! She picked a yummy place for lunch and found two outfits, and two nightgowns she really loved when we went shopping! It was fun to see my Grandma so excited to get out! Then after my Aunt Sharon went home, we went to dinner at my Great Aunt Jan's house with her and my Great Uncle Jim. After that we took Isabella swimming! She loves the water, we found her a princess floaty at the Walgreens there so we broke that out and she loved it too!
And then we went to go shopping at the mall! I ordered a new swimsuit before going that didn't come before we left, so we went to find me a new one because I realized my swimsuit from last year was a little too big (from the prego belly last summer!) so we wandered the mall for a little bit, had lunch at Cracker Barrel, and then a pretty low key evening until my sister Amy and her family got there to visit! The next day, my sister April got there with her family, so we went to see my Grandma and hung out there for awhile just chatting and playing with Isabella and Jordon, who are the two youngest of the group! Then we all went out to dinner, and then spent the rest of the evening swimming. This time I dunked Isabella under water! My Aunt Debby had been trying to explain to me how to do it, but I was sooo scared! So Amy did it first, and I saw how much she liked it, so I sucked it up and did it! She loved it! She came up all smiley and laughing a few times!
On the last day we were there we ALL went to see my Grandma again, then out to the cemetary to visit my Grandpa's grave again, and then we went to a little Mexican restaurant there, and then we got on the road!
So that's pretty much our whole trip! It was so good to see all my family, I wish we were able to be there longer and to be able to go do more while we were there, but it was still great!
