Charlotte and Daddy’s Trip

At the end of June, Chris took Charlotte to back his hometown to visit family. I was bummed to miss out on the fun, but Chris took lots of really great pictures and some cute videos, so I got to see what everyone was up to. They were only there from a Friday to Monday, but they managed to pack in a lot of adventure.

A trip out to his grandparents’ farm where Charlotte checked out the cows, played in the creek, and rode around in the gator.

(The brick house in the trees is where Grandma Pat lives!)

Looking cool with wind-blown hair and Grandma Pat’s shirt.

Later, she took a train ride through rural Boone Country, crossing the famous High Bridge over the Des Moines River.

Hanging out with Papa and her T-Rex in the train car.

Remember Kramer, the sweet horse Charlotte met last year?

This year, she was brave enough to take a ride!

Giddy up!

Kramer is the horse that started it all for Charlotte. What a gentle guy!

AND… before returning home, Nana took Charlotte to the Blank Park Zoo.

Goats!

Baby Roo

Yikes!

Just a typical Charlotte face for you.

 

Thanks to Charlotte’s Iowa grandparents for such a fun weekend!
