We traveled to Iowa for Thanksgiving this year. It was a bit more challenging than normal because we had to work around Graecyn's school schedule and Eric's work schedule (Eric started working for the Rochester Community Schools in September...fortunately, he has the same vacation schedule as Graecyn). Since Graecyn and Eric only got the Wednesday before and Friday after Thanksgiving off, we opted to fly to save time. Cody did pretty well for his first flight in his own seat - the hardest part was getting him to stay seated with his seat belt on during take off (he just wanted to be down and moving around). Fortunately, I had several distractions packed and it was a successful flight.
We had a fun time in Iowa and enjoyed being with family. We got to meet the newest member of the family, Eloise Ramona Johnson, who was born at the end of September. Everyone wanted to hold her, even Cody!
Cody loved seeing all of the tractors and equipment on the farm and Graecyn and Cody even got to help Papa feed one of Uncle Will and Aunt Danielle's calves! We swam at the Y (Graecyn loved the big water slide and Cody loved the baby slide), played games, zip lined, jumped on the trampoline, rode bikes inside the wash bay, had dance parties, and slumber parties. It was a fun filled time!
