unexpected...

...road trip.

After learning of Grandma Carol's passing on Monday, we decided to tack on a visit to Moline to the Smith Family prior to heading to Iowa for the funeral. It is a long trip down there for us, so it is ideal to be able to visit both families at the same time. And luckily we were able to do it prior this time so I could be back to work the weekend.

We left Wednesday morning to head to Moline and arrived right at lunch time. We had lunch with Great Grandma Jan and Great Papa. Got to play a bit and then were lucky to have other visitors in the afternoon. Kelly, Jake, Maddie, Jenna, Carter and Peyton stopped over and the kids got to play. They loved it! Uncle Ted got quite the work out during our short visit as well. Rowan was his little buddy.
We headed out for dinner Wednesday night to a nice little mexican place and got to see pretty much every Smith family member that lives in Moline. So that was fun. And of course we couldn't sleep without some Whitey's ice cream as well! We spent the night, have breakfast, a bath in the sink, and were on our way to Iowa before lunch time. It was a quick visit, but nice to see everyone and catch up!
Can't miss an opportunity for a picture of Ed I and Ed IV! Too cute!
