So July 23rd we packed up and headed south for our longest drive ever just mom and the kiddos.  We were going to pick up Tia and Rider to drive to TN for the wedding while Dad was heading north on a mission trip to Easton, PA with the jr highers from our church.  Our car ride was great with a stop in Richmond to see some of our favorite people, the Dowdas and Thompsons.  We took over Chick-fil-a for a good 2 hours before getting back on the road.  

We had so much fun hanging out at Uncle John and Tias:  visiting their church, hanging with their neighbors, seeing old friends, eating at the Bagel Station and playing at the Children's Museum. 

Krispy Kream Factory ... a favorite.

Rider in his favorite corner ;)

Barnes saying "Cheese!"

Matching Cousins ... don't remember why R is crying ... maybe he had too much lovin'

This trip makes me so thankful for family and for the gift of our Suburban which allows us to take long road trips with cousins in COMFORT!
