Road Trip

Chris and Tim had a chance for a work/pleasure trip to the Canary Islands and Madrid over Thanksgiving. We offered to babysit Maya and go visit Rob and Sarah and their family in Chicago. Most people thought we were crazy--two old folks taking on an eight day babysitting trip with a two and a half year old. We're back and we survivied. Here are some highlights of the trip.

Maya discovered luggage carts and always wanted to help and sometime ride when the cart was empty.



Once we got to Chicago, it didn't take long for the little girl mafia to organize. Here's a picture of their first meeting under the bunk bed.



It was really great to get to see the grandkids and how they've grown. Andrew is getting quite mature. I thought he was very grown up in behavior and looks.



Nate lives and dies with his guitar and Eli Manning.



Maya and Megan zoomed around the house.



I tried to provide Sarah with a family picture for their Christmas letter. This is the best of an indifferent lot. The subjects aren't done justice by my photography skills.



Maya was happy to get back to Texas. We stopped at the Texas welcome center to get some exercise and take a break from the car.
