Micah's First Road Trip
Labor Day weekend, 2007
Our rental car, a Chevy HHR was fun to drive!
Micah slept in his car seat on Friday morning until we crossed the Mississippi River. We stopped and ate our lunch at a beautiful park near the River. The weather was perfect and we had the whole place to ourselves!
On Friday we stopped at a McDonald's to feed & change Micah. Karen challenged Dean to the ultimate challenge: Climb to the top of the bubble in the McDonald's playplace. After Karen promised him $1.00 if he climbed to the top for a picture, Dean decided he was up for the adventure. (Thankfully there were no other patrons there at the time.) Not only did Dean make it to the top bubble, but he finished with a surprise trip down the blue slide to the finish. Micah found this quite fascinating!
On Saturday Micah & Karen were able to meet several relatives who came for lunch. There was a delicious meal, and visiting in the afternoon. Pictured here are Dean's maternal aunts (L to R): Esther, Lucille & Margery

On Sunday we visited Dean's cousin Duane and Linda on their farm.
Karen had a ride on Annie the horse! That was fun!
