Trip Recap...

What a trip. Four flights, two layovers, one flight delay, lots of Advil, several 'what a cute baby', several more annoyed co-passengers. Oh the joys of travelling with a baby.

We had a great trip to Arkansas to celebrate Britney's grandfather, Jim McKinnon's 100th birthday. What an accomplishment!! We're all very proud of him and how well he's holding up. He had a great turnout at the party - several people coming from California, Illinois, etc. just to be there with him on this special day. He was born in 1907! At that time, the United States was only 46 states and there were only 144 miles of paved road in the entire US. Only one out of every 200 men reach 100 years of age. We're all hoping to be there with him when he becomes a supercentenarian (110 years old - something that only 1 in 1000 centenarians achieve!).

Jim is a huge Arkansas Razorback fan so to honor his special day, we dressed Bailey in her Razorback cheerleader outfit. She was quite a hit with the crowd at the party and her great granddad loved it. This was her 4th trip to Arkansas, so she's gotten to spend some good time with him this year!

The rest of our trip was spent with family and friends - getting Bailey some time with Nana and Papa Bill, and her aunts, uncles, and cousins. We also took her to the Pumpkin Patch for a short photo shoot. She didn't really enjoy that part of the trip (see 2nd photo) - but we got some cute pictures! She liked sitting in the hay much more than she liked sitting with actual pumpkins. She also, apparently, does not like wagon rides and has a strong aversion to gourds. I left those pictures out!
