Over labor day weekend we went to Albuquerque to see my dad and his side of the family. It had been about a year since we'd seen my dad so we were so excited!
Grandpa with Ains and Gavin
Grandpa meets Baby Scarlett
Besides my dad we saw a lot of my aunts and uncles we hadn't seen in years and years.
I got so caught up in talking to them all, I didn't get many pictures.
I did get one of me and my Aunt Renee. :)
and her kids :) They loved Nora, it was so fun!
The other person besides my dad we were super excited to see was my Grandpa Richard.
He was a huge part of our lives growing up. He lived 5 hours away and would drive over for anything even remotely special. We really miss being able to see him more often.
Our second day there we went to the zoo! Abq has a great zoo, I definitely recommend it!
Dad was the designated stroller guy. :)
Wes and Ains and Tad checking out the wildlife.
Loved the seals!
Another great thing about our trip was seeing my 'Uncle' Danny and 'Aunt' Jeanie! Danny has been my dad's best friend since he was a kid. I'm actually named after him. They have been around my whole life, and I love them so much. It was so fun to share the trip with them.
Tom and Tad and their firstborns. :)
Two Beauties! JaNae and Scarlett
Love my Daddy
He's so silly (fyi: he's got Nora.. I've got Scarlett)
Really Silly :)
The kids had a blast with Grandpa and Grandma Briggs
as for saying goodbye,
I think this picture says it all..
