We did it! My mom and I successfully traveled to Corpus Christi and back last week - an 8 hour trip with Grayson in tow! It was a last minute trip to attend the funeral of Ma's cousin, Amelia Garza Verley. Sadly, it's things like this that bring family together but we really enjoyed seeing everyone. There were so many cousins and distant cousins and first, second and third cousins that we were able to see again! It was really cool to see my mom and grandmother interact with so many people that they grew up with, yet that we don't see very often anymore due to distance. Ma is 13 years older than Amelia so she was able to tell Amelia's daughters stories of her childhood, which was awesome to listen to. Ma is a great story teller and has an amazing memory (yes, at 90 years old)!
I forgot the camera so I don't have any pictures of family (are you even supposed to take pictures under these circumstances?) and I only had the video camera so OF COURSE the only videos are of Grayson. :-) Take a look - overall, he did great sitting for so long, which is he hates to do...
Here we are working on holding an (empty) bottle...it's 1 1/2 minutes of the same thing so you only have to watch the first 20 seconds or so ;-)
A time-passer that quickly came to an end!
and a little down time while we were there...he REALLY wants to be on his own...hope the same applies when he's 18! :)
