This past May we took a week-long trip to St. Louis to go to my friend Katie's wedding. I ran cross country in high school with Katie and we have kept in touch ever since. Nathan's grandparents and several aunt's, uncle's, and cousin's live there as well-many had never met Griffin. It was a great vacation for us. We left on a Friday and drove to Fayetteville, AR, to see Nathan's brother Justin and his wife Julie. While there, we went on a float down the river. It was a lot of fun, though tiring for me- imagine what Julie felt like- she was 9 months pregnant! We left there on Sunday and went on to St. Louis. During the week we went to the zoo, the transportation museum, Grant's Farm, and had many other fun activities. We also got to visit with a lot of family and we had a great trip. At the end of the weekend, we went to the wedding. It was very nice and great to see Katie again. Griffin had a blast dancing at the reception- we have a little on video that we will post later. To top it all off, we got the call from Justin that Julie was having her baby that Sat. night. We made a slight detour on our way home and were able to arrive at the hospital only a few minutes after Shelby June was born. It was so special to see them and welcome our new niece into the world. All in all, it was a wonderful vacation.

I am smiling looking at the pictures of your "short" canoing trip. It reminds me of what an adventure you described having on the river. :)
I had forgotten that you guys got to be their for your niece's birth. How special!
Aw! Julie is pregnant (well...now has a baby!)?! Congrats to her! She got married on the same day as Ryan and me.
Great pictures!
I want to see the video of Griffin dancing! Glad you guys had a good trip!
