Travel plans

My dad has decided to start a tradition of taking each grandchild on a special trip, just the two of them. It all began when he and Evan (my motorcycle, hot-rod, tool-crazy 10 year old) started talking about a motorcycle trip along the Mississippi River.

They will leave for 5 days and 4 nights in July. We have an itinerary for them, and we just need to map a route that will take them on the back highways and secondary roads instead of the interstates.

We are in the process of getting Evan geared up for the trip -- Grandma and Papa bought this for him last week.




He loves it.

  1. Gosh when I see Evan's face I can't believe how much he has changed. When I think Evan I think "sweet chunky cheeked fat boy who outgrew his brother" from the beginning. What a cutie! And tell him I am a fellow Keen-a-holic. I just know the two of us will get along wonderfully when you come in a few weeks? months? :) :)

    Yeah for the Boys! These will be times that they will never forget. Bailey still talks about times she did things with my Mom. I hope your Dad takes each of them on the Ride of their Life!

  4. Cute jacket! I agree with Cara, he's not the boy he used to be! Isn't it scary how you can almost see the face of the man in the boy??
