Kentucky Trip 2012

Every summer, we have the blessing of heading to Kentucky to visit friends and family.  This year, our first stop was in Louisville, KY to visit with Nana V for the week.  Of course, I took TONS of pictures but or the sake of space, I have tried to narrow the pictures down to just a few.  Our visit wtih Nana V included slumber parties and a gift box from Nana V...Can you tell by the kiddos' faces that they were THRILLED?!?!
Nana V took us to the Louisville Slugger Museum to see how they make the bats.  We spent the entire day in downtown Louisville.  We even got to eat at on of our favorite places...The Old Speghatti Factory...And YES!!  They serve Gluten-free pastas!!  WHOO HOO!!
 Nana also planned a day of Indoor Racing for Corbyn and a day at Puzzles for the younger ones.
 Me and Vilma...I truly am blessed to have such a precious Mother-In-Law!!  I LOVE HER!!!
The last day in Louisville, Uncle Dan and Aunt Deb hosted a family cookout.  It was SOOO fun to hang out all day with all of them.  Thank you, Missy, for taking the picture for us!!
The second week we were in Kentucky, we stayed at my parents.  Nana and Pawpaw had lots of fun activities planned as well.  One of the best things is being able to worship with them!!
Jason and Annette spend that weekend at Mama and Daddy's as well.  Annette's two boys got to hang out too!!  Aunt Chelle loves you Austin Jacomb and Noahie Noahie!!
This trip, I had the pure joy of running into several friends from high school.  Tammy was also in town that same week so she and her daugther, Taegan, came to my parents one evening to visit!! It was WONDERFUL seeing one of my best friends again!!
Can you tell by this picture that the kiddos, Uncle Jason, and Pawpaw had a blast playing swords?!?!  Silly Bunch!!
No trip to London, KY is complete without at least one lunch at Weaver's...Daddy painted the door for them a few months ago.
Of course, Nana and Pawpaw take the kiddos swimming every summer.  And of course, that trip includes at least one ice cream!!
Nana and Pawpaw's library is SOOO cool.  The children always look forward to going and joining in on the summer program activities.
Nana and Pawpaw save all their change from one summer to the next so that the children can have some "fun money" while we are visiting.  This year, they each were able to buy games from Game Stop.  Thank you, Nana and Pawpaw!!
Our trip ended with four days at Annette's.  She and I always have a Day Out when we are together.  This year, we went to downtown Bardstown to shop, eat, and walk around.
 Annette and her hat...
 Me and my hat...
 Saying "Good-bye" is so hard!!
Back Home...Safe and Sound!!  The children were THRILLED to see their Daddy again and I was VERY happy to be back in My Man's arms again :)
Thank You, Lord, for a great trip!!
