24

We have had a crazy 24 hours! Last night we had the family over for dinner. I got to meet the rest of David's growing family, which was really a treat. We took a picture to commemorate this rare occasion.

Last night, Brady kept taking off his swimsuit, prancing around yelling, "It's showtime!" Since going to the circus, this is one of his new favorite sayings.

At 6:00am, Papa, Grammy, Brady, Anna Belle and I got on the road en route to Colorado. We stopped to visit the Pattersons on the way. Cathy let Brady ride one of their horses, Sunny. He LOVED it; thank you so much Cathy! Brady asked to go back and visit you all day.

Grammy and Papa took turns driving while I stayed in the back seat with the kids. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the kids did in the car today; 9 hours is a lot for anyone.

We ate dinner at the Big Texan and checked into a hotel for the night. Brady napped all day and just ate a huge lollipop, so I think we'll be up for awhile.

Isn't this the machine that Tom Hanks had in "Big"?

Tomorrow, after about 7 - 8 hours of driving, we should reach Mammaw's house in Denver!
