Happy / Sad Occasion

Last week the kids and I headed to Ohio for the funeral of my Great Aunt Mabel. Even though the purpose of our visit wasn't a happy one, we did enjoy the time spent with family.


My Great Aunt Mabel is the lady in the red jacket -- my grandma's sister-in-law

Wednesday evening was the viewing. Thursday morning we hung out with Papaw and went to a local 'kiddie park'.



The girls started off excited to ride on the Little Dipper.

But as you can see, Madi became terrified. Makenna was a real help in consoling her as much as possible. Unfortunately the ride takes you around twice. Madi was a little gun shy after this ride.

Isaiah loved to ride the boat and ring the bell. (Madi wouldn't ride because it looked like it went too fast -- this was after the Little Dipper ride.)


This ride was more her speed.



Poor Makenna was too tall to ride all but three rides. She is the first passenger on the train.


We also stopped by the school I graduated from. Papaw let the kids climb up on the referee stand in the gym.

We also saw Uncle Jon's name on the Athlete of the Year award (see top left)

Thursday afternoon was the viewing. Afterwards we visited with family over a meal.

PS: Aunt Lenore -- Isaiah didn't sleep at all on the way home, but it wasn't too bad of a trip.
