Road Trip! A Picture Entry

We finished up in Delaware for the summer towards the end of June, flew into UT, spent a night (no pictures unfortunately), and then took off north! It is an 8 hour drive to Denver where we spend a night with my brother in law Tyler and his wife Lindsay and their AMAZINGLY beautiful children. Then it was 13.5 hours on to Minnesota the next day. I will let the pictures and captions do the talking but our trip has been a blast so far.

Our last trip to the pool in DE involved a game of 500 with random kids

Vince is OBSESSED with watermelon, he will even eat the rind. See the other one hundred pictures coming of him eating it for proof!

YUMMY!

Helping us pack up.

Just before we took off on our 8 hour drive... this was back when the car was fun. He loves hugging his "Max" the cat-in-the-hat toy from great-grandma & grandpa Wilson.

Tommy & JoAnn were in Denver the same night we stopped over and they had pool time!

Vince loves the water, & splashing, & Uncle Tommy!

Did I mention Vince loves water?

At the pool with the Denver crew.

Tommy, Landon, Grandma Jo, Vincey, Dillon, Kaitlyn, Kylie

About the only sleep he got the next day on our 13.5 hour leg of the drive... poor kid had a hard time of it

Sporting the rally-cap for Uncle Matt's last baseball game when they were down late/

Dillon loves doing projects around his parent's house. While they were gone he chopped down a ton of branches in the yard.

I was not thrilled to see my husband 25+ feet up in a tree, on a ladder, by himself, with a chainsaw... but he's a pro by now and it looks great out there.

Took Uncle Jordon out to Champlin for a BBQ Dinner

More watermelon at Tanner's baseball game (one of the highlights of the trip for me!!)

Vince loved clapping and yelling motivation/non-sense at the team.

Tanner got on base 3/3!

Vincey & Dillon played soccer for a bit and he loved chasing the ball.

More watermelon, and a sweat mo-hawk he got playing soccer.

Vince kept going up to Tommy and reaching out to be held/hugged by him!

At the park in Champlin

He is such a fast runner these days!

Dillon beating up Matt as usual

This is the project that has consumed our time at the Holm's. We helped dig out and tear down their old deck!

It came down, and has been cut up for firewood!

Next Dillon dug out 4 footings 48in deep (through concrete) and then we poured cement in to set.

Vince has been fixing up Grandma's little house while we worked (aka has been in there to stay busy/safe)

This boy always has sticks in his hands, when we camp he will be our kindling collector!

Super Vince playing at Weaver Lake Park

Burring Vince alive!

S'mores in Grandpa Willy's backyard

The wedding we helped with, I was in the bridal party and JoAnn did all the decorations.

Vince is a champ, got both white shirts covered- no worries we washed them out before church the next day!

Smirking for the camera

My favorite!! Grandma Jo playing with Vincey at the reception, he had a blast with her!

She brought him yet another plate of food but he had other ideas...

He fed it all to her!

Tuckered out!

Our nightly ritual at the Wilson's: a heated game of corn-hole!

Drinking from a hose is hard!

After some practice

Grandpa Willy needed help hosing off their scuba gear after Mexico so Vince was happy to "help"

What a sport!

And there is a stick of course.

I can't believe this is the only picture I took but Andi & Tanner slept over in Champlin at my Dad's before we all went to Bunker Beach wave pool, it was so fun to bond with them and goof off!

A successful "instant slush" experiment!
