Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Last week we took a family trip to Ft. Wayne, IN for Jarrod's 20 year class reunion. It was a fun filled trip for all. It started by leaving our house last Wednesday at 3:00AM to get to the airport on time. When we went in at 2:30am to wake up Bo he had a look of total confusion all over his face! Bo did wonderful on the flights. Having to wake him up so early we were a little concerned on how he'd do, but he loved it! After our flights people would stop us and comment on how great he did. I must say getting up at 2:00am, flights from Austin and Memphis, then a 2 hour car ride from Indianapolis to Ft. Wayne wore out mommy & daddy, but Bo just went with the flow and kept on smiling!!

Once in Ft. Wayne we spent time with Jarrod's family. Jarrod's sister Kim, her husband Jason, and their two little girls Lily and Josie made a trip up from Greenville, SC to meet Bo for the first time. We truly appreciated their 12 hour drive just to spend time with us. Bo LOVED his cousins, they took such good care of him. They even gave him his very first Cubs hat, with "Bowen Lee" monogrammed on the back. It's adorable and one of his daddy's favorite things!

Friday and Saturday nights were filled with reunion activities. Probably not my first choice of fun, but Jarrod really enjoyed it so I was happy to be there with him. We also made a visit to the Johnny Appleseed Festival on Sunday. The entire festival is set back in Indiana Frontier days of the 1800's. People are dressed the part, they have food cooked the same way they did back then, blacksmiths, re-enactments, and great children's area with games and face painting. It was a lot of fun. On Monday we visited the Ft. Wayne's Childrens Zoo which was also a lot of fun. Like before, Bo really enjoyed watching the fish in the aquarium! He even got to go on his first train ride with cousin Lily sitting close by.

The trip home was interesting...as soon as we got to the Indianapolis airport we realized he had wet his diaper so much it had soaked his clothes! Of course mommy didn't have an extra outfit so we had to buy a size 2 t-shirt for him to wear with just his diaper. Once we got to Memphis we were able to buy him something with pants! It was a wonderful trip and so good to spend time with family!
