Visiting JuJu and PaPa


















Hannah was so excited to visit JuJu and PaPa in New York this summer. We broke in our new-to-us minivan and it was fabulous! (It certainly helped splitting up the trip into 2 days, too!)














We discovered all kinds of fun activities to keep Hannah entertained. She fell in love with this rocking horse at a woodworking store and also enjoyed feeding the ducks at a local town. She had a riot watching the "birds" peck at the seeds.













We were also able to enjoy an afternoon at the zoo. Unfortunately, this butterfly is just about the only creature we saw there besides an elephant and a couple of monkeys.













Hannah found some interesting ways to keep herself entertained in the car. She is sporting a mustache just like PaPa in this picture. :)













JuJu took Hannah on the carousel at the mall. I think Hannah enjoyed the spinning, but JuJu got a little dizzy on that 2nd deck!













We drove by a local farm one day and stopped to let Hannah jump. And she jumped her little heart out. She kept up with the big kids and just couldn't get enough. Daddy had some fun, too!













It was sad to leave and think about returning home with family 400 miles away in either direction from Brighton. We often wish we had grandparents (and aunts and uncles!) closer to spend quality time with. Hopefully someday!
