Trip to Evansville

We headed down to visit my family this past weekend. It was awesome to get away after having the guys around all the time last week because they were on Spring Break.

As usual, we drove down after work Thursday night, arriving in the early hours of Friday. Dave and I were very excited to realize how awesome the weather was, and spent the morning hanging out outside with my grandpa. Then, Tony and Josh went to play a round of golf, and grandpa, Dave, and I went to walk along the river.

Then we went to buy shorts for Dave and I because it was sweltering. I didn't exactly pack for 80 degree weather. We met Dad at his house to hang out, and then headed over the park near his house to play. I'm not sure who had more fun-dad or Dave!



I think this picture is actually from Saturday, we went to the park three times this weekend. Dave loved going down the slides all by himself.









Chillin in Uncle Tony's car. He loves cars anyway, but I think he really loved being outside and being able to push all the car buttons.




On Saturday, we hung out with dad in the morning, then met my mom and aunt at my grandpa's for pizza. Mom brought Dave's new (to him) toy-a four wheeler!






He isn't quite used to it yet. He doesn't push the button down continuously, so he starts and stops a lot.










Gamma and Dave. Anytime he's outside, he has to have his golf clubs.




On Sunday, we celebrated my Dad's birthday (big 5-0!) by going over and having him cook brunch for us. Aren't we nice? Anyway, it was delicious, and we got to see Kyra's son Rob and his girlfriend Molly. Then we were on our way back home.

It's always a whirlwind weekend, but it was especially nice this time because of the weather. It was in the mid 80s all weekend. Definitely rejuvenating after the crappy weather we've been having lately.

One final thing we took from our trip-the turtles. Since my mom moved, my grandpa's been going over to feed them. So, we volunteered to take over their care for a while. We brought them home with us, and so far so good. Dave loves chasing them around, and it's probably good for them to get out and around. Of course, I took a video.
