Whirlwind Trip To Canada

Well it has been several months since we have made a trip to Canada and we haven't been to Hanover since last September so we were very excited and ready to hit the road.

We had all our clothes picked out, plans made and toys packed. Apparently Dad said we couldn't ride in the back of the truck.

Our first stop was to see Great Grandma Thomas. It was great to visit and have dinner with her. She has lots of cool little things we wanted to touch - stressing mom out.

After a great dinner and some ice cream we hit the road again.

Finally made it to Hanover. Time to relax and have a beer.

Our cousin Travis came right over as soon as we told him we had arrived. I had to wear my special spongebob pjs just for him.

I love my cousins - especially when they read me Scooby Doo books!

The highlight of the weekend was finding out Grandpa had bought a paddle boat for us. We were allowed to ride around the pond for hours on end. Of course, we had to use our muscles and clean it first.

We had a great time riding around in circles pretending to be pirates, fishermen and sailors.

Of course, we never did catch any fish.

We had a nice visit with Grandma & Grandpa Pupich as well. Grandpa is 97 and Grandma is 95. They are doing great and of course had a plate of cookies waiting for us. Grandma is still gardening - guess where our green thumb comes from? Straight from Italy.

Grandpa is an expert bbq master. Claire even ate some sausage on a bun!

Sarah stuck with the candy diet. Mmmmm, maple syrup lollipops.

Of course the candy diet and lack of napping leads to a big crash.

We had a great time in Canada. Thanks for the endless golf cart rides Grandma. How old do I have to be to drive that?

After a long drive we are back home and already planning our return visit.
