We were excited to head to Iowa not only to visit with family but also to celebrate our newest nephew Maverick James. Wanna see it what it is like on our road trips? Here we are....
Teddy was excited to see his COUSINS! Check out his two littlest ones. It's fun to think that in a year from now they will be chasing Teddy around:
for now he'll have to get chased by Amy:
Teddy had a great time playing with Amy and has talked about her non stop since our trip:
They even got to play trivia together at Wild Wings:
And of course swimming together was a highlight of the trip:
Little Grant was content to watch the fun from the sidelines:
Look at these two having a dance party:

Snack time:
Bath time (note this bath was MUCH more successful than his first attempt at a cousin bath)
Grandma Susie and some of her babies:
The shower celebrating Maverick was lots of fun:
Look how much fun the guest of honor had:
Let's get this party started... pass the popcorn please!
Amy all dressed up and ready to party:
Two little buddies:
Cute picture of Shae and his sisters... notice the children literally running circles around them!
Everyone had a great time:
Aw.... with my little man:
Amy and Teddy are bright children... they figured out really quickly which table to stand near... they got PLENTY of cake pops!!!
Beautiful Aunt Sam and Darcy:
Go Cubs:
Lots of goodies:
Great Aunt Sara with Grant:
Family portrait in our hotel room:
Meal time at the Arrowhead Motel.... we are not used to having TV during meal time... let alone CABLE TV.... very fancy:
Teddy really enjoyed spending time with Grandma Susie:
She even played piano with him:
And let him wear her hat and play with her new puppy:
Teddy also had a blast on Grandpa's boat:
Here's our 3 generations on the boat picture:
It was a little chilly for us Georgia Peaches....
But Teddy didn't stay inside for long...
He had to help drive!
One of the cutest pictures ever...
Amy and Teddy hanging out in the motel:
Eventually the trip had to end and it was back in the car for us.... luckily Teddy is an amazing traveler!!!
We stopped in St. Louis for lunch and got to stretch our legs a bit...
and ate at The Spaghetti Factory... yummy!
Like always, the trip flew by and while we enjoyed seeing everyone, it went by very very quickly!
