Jon and I had known for a while that his Grandmother Irene Hunsaker had been in and out of the hospital for the last couple of years and we would get the call that she wasn't doing to well and then the call would come that she was on the mend. Finally the call came late Friday night that she had passed away at 88 years of age. I am so glad that the last couple of summers we were able to go visit and let the kids get to know her. She fell in love with Taylor. This picture was taken the summer of 2008.
We talked about Jon just going and flying because of the weather conditions but we decided to drive and take the whole family. Saturday morning we told the kids that their Great Grandma Hunsaker had died and Taylor said that she needed to give her something to place on her belly. She was going to give Great Grandma her Tinkerbell wand because she got a new wand for christmas. We explained to her that if she gave it to her she wouldn't get it back, she said I know. So it was decided we packed up on Saturday did some last minute snack shopping and loaded the car Sunday morning to head out on our LONG drive. To break our drive up going there we stopped in Pendelton, Oregon to stay with Jon's cousin Wade and his wife Laura and there two boys and three foster kids. Surprisingly with 8 kids it was fairly calm. I wish I had taken pictures because Taylor had a blast playing with there foster daughter Nev. They were even generous enough to feed all of us Sunday dinner.We woke up the next morning packed everything back up and hit the road to Idaho. Here are the kids happy as clams in the PJ's hanging out.
Taylor excited about something, Isaac playing with Elmo and Jared guzzling water. Let's just say we got aquainted with quite a few rest stops along the way.
The driver in deep thought.
And the self portrait of me.
After we had left Oregon Isaac zonked out.
