Trip to Ft Wayne, Indiana

This past weekend we had the opportunity to travel the 200 miles down to see my cousins Melissa and Tara and their sweet families along with my Aunt Doreen and Uncle Jeff who were in town visiting them. I got to see all of them last year but Ian and Jacob have not seen them since Jacob was 10 months old and Nathan had not yet gotten to meet them. Melissa and Tara each have two adorable kiddos under the age of 3 so all six kids together were so much fun to watch. Nathan and Melissa's daughter Amanda hit it off and were having the best of time. Nathan also just loved Tara's 5 month old baby boy Cooper. It was nice to see Nathan so in love with him and being gentle. It shows us how he hopefully will be in the future. Jacob just loves all the little ones period....but that is Jacob:)

We had an awesome trip with zero traffic. We enjoyed our time there bbqing, getting totally rained out (which just made it more fun) church with them and a fun lunch my Aunt had before we headed back. On the way home we had to stop at Cabelas since Ian has decided it is his goal to visit every single one. That makes number 4 and I personally have seen enough:) All my "men" love it there and I have to admit the animals are pretty neat.

I am thankful we had the opportunity to go down there and visit. Sometimes it is a bummer living so far from family.

I am attaching a few pictures of our trip and a video of Jacob "swimming" or I should say jumping in the pool!
