Big Surprise Trip - Part 1

I know this is so over due, but this is going to be the first of a few posts. I started one big trip recap post and it proved to be too much so, how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

Our trip was a go, go, go schedule. Poor Chloe hardly got to nap in a bed, for the most part it was in the car seat driving from one activity to another. We first got to see our fun California cousins. They were in town at the same time and we loved getting to see them again (living on opposite coasts make it a little tricky). The kids mobbed Chloe as soon as we got out of the car. She was loving the attention and played all day without a nap.

Saying bye to Daddy. Oh how happy the reunion was a week later.

Sitting in her car seat. We were so lucky to get a seat since the flight was not full.
It made for a happy mommy and a happy Chloe!

Here they are on Grandma and Grandpa's porch:

Grandmas are for spoiling. Here is Chloe's first sour gummy worm, which she really liked! She also got to have chocolate milk for the first time. She is HOOKED!

This was the reason we flew in on Tuesday. To surprise Jenni at her family baby shower. From the look on her face, I think we got her! It was fun to be there and also to see so much family at one time.

Here we are with Jenni and Nana Joan. (oops Nana's eyes were a little closed)

Aunt Jori loves to spoil Chloe (as payback to her mom) and gave her a yummy cupcake. Chloe loved it and wanted more.

After all the excitement of flying to SLC, playing with cousins, cousins, and more cousins, eating so many forbidden things (candy, cupcakes, chocolate milk), and no nap, Chloe was begging to get into bed. She was trying to climb in even before I got the sheet on the mattress.

Stay tuned, part 2 and more are coming...
