The Brittons

Finally getting a chance to sit down and write!  It's only been a couple months since this trip!  These are all from our road trip east and southeast.  Nick and I packed all of their stuff after they went to bed the night before. We surprised the kids on a Friday morning by getting them up pretty early and making them get in the car.  We told them where we would end up that day, but nothing more.  They were given a map of Tennessee to let them know where we would end up that day. Sleepy Owen waking up to good news. Ready to go! The first day of our road trip we drove east through Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and ended up in northeastern Tennessee.  We stayed in Blountville, TN with Nick's Aunt Deanne.  Gracie and I both didn't feel the greatest after the first day of driving and ended up going right to bed.  I felt better the next morning and we gave Gracie some Tylenol and she felt better for awhile. On the first day we stop...

We have lots and lots of pictures from our fun weekend on the river.  Thanks to Kimi for taking them and sharing!  Shortly after my previous post, we had Trent and Kimi and their family from Iowa visit us for the weekend and then we joined them on their kayaking excursion for one day on the Current River in Eminence, MO.  Nick and Owen had gone with them two years ago when they were down, but Gracie and I were up in Iowa at the time.  This year we all got to go!  I have lots of pictures from both Columbia and Eminence! Their family arrived on a Friday evening and we had dinner and stayed up late playing cards and being entertained by all the kids.  The next day we visited Columbia to go to the cave at Rock Bridge State Park and show them Mizzou Sports Park.
