We traveled to Ohio for a second time because Aunt Louise was throwing a surprise 60th and surprise 99th birthday party for Uncle Thad and Granny. Granny thought she was traveling to Ohio for Uncle Thad's surprise party, but was she surprised when she found out the surprise was for her too! We were so very glad Granny was able to make the trip--it was a bit touch and go, would she would she not?--but she said she felt all our prayers and she woke up the day of the trip feeling good. How many 99 year olds do you know who will take a 9 hour car trip?! Amazing!
Lots of family was in town for the big event...

| Shawn & the kids were there. |
 |
| A few of the 12 second cousins that were present. |
 |
| My baby girl & me. |
 |
| Daddy and his big kids. |
 |
| Aunt Gail & Uncle Jim came too! |
We had exciting road trips there and back: the highway was completely shut down (as in people sitting on the side of the road) for an hour on the way out due to a tractor trailing flipping over. On the way back, the police came and shut down that same highway right in front of us for about 10 minutes so a HUGE oversized tractor trailer carrying a crane could get on the highway (and hog the entire highway)...and we followed it at 15 mi/hr for an hour.
Aside from the extra long times on the road, we had a great time and were glad we were able to be there for such a special event. And this sums up how we felt after partying all weekend!
