Last month, we had a great trip to visit Grant's family in Fort Wayne. Most of Grant's siblings and their families met up at his mom's house for a little reunion. The men were able to tackle some projects around the house while the ladies assisted and entertained the kiddos. The little ones had so much fun getting to be with their cousins!

we finally got to meet baby Emma, and Emily was infatuated!

We were able to meet up with my cousin at a cracker barrel one evening. We haven't seen each other in 15-20 years, but she happens to live in Fort Wayne so it was fun to be able to have a little reunion. Our kids are close in age (Addie and her twin boys are 1 day apart!) so it was a lot of fun for them too!
fast friends!!
On our last day we visited the Fort Wayne Zoo and had a fondue party after dinner. We had such a great trip and can't wait to see everyone again soon! Emily is always asking me if we can go to Grandma Barb's house again someday!
they have peacocks walking around the grounds!
