On Wednesday, July 1, we left Colorado in the afternoon and flew straight to Omaha, NE. From there we rented a car and drove around 3 hours to Sioux Center, IA-home of Dordt College and where Matthew and I spent 4 years there :)! We stayed at our good friends house (Bret and Kristi Van Wyk plus there new little baby James). It was so nice to be able to catch up with them again and we were so thankful that they let us crash there for a few days! On Thursday we spent the entire day with my Grandpa and Grandma De Yager at their house. Cayden loved the wide open spaces of there basement (where I used to play) and also playing with my cousin Nicolaas! In the evening we met a lot of my extended De Yager family at Pizza Ranch for dinner. It was so nice to catch up with everyone who was there!! Unfortunately Matthew had the beginnings of the flu and by Friday morning I was sick with the flu as well. We left Sioux Center in the morning to drive back to Omaha where Matthew's Mom and Grandma picked us up there. Then we had another 3 hour drive to Pella. This was no fun to be sick in the car when all I wanted to do was sleep, but we made it and I soon went to bed. We were proud of Cayden for putting up with all this traveling so far! We had our moments but for the most part he was a trooper.
Cayden playing with the same trucks me and my siblings played with growing up in my Grandparents basement!
Playing with the chalk board, he really like this!
Sitting with Great Grandma :)!
Sitting with Great Grandpa outside :)!
Something must have been hilarious when we took this picture . . . CUTE!
Me and my Grandparents . . . love them!
Cayden eating Townhouse crackers (same as when we were little) at the little table Shaun and I used to eat by, we thought that table was awesome. It was cute to see Cayden sitting there too!
Cayden and James (Brett and Kristi's baby). Cayden thought it was awesome to help James with his pacifier. Over and over again!
Unfortunately we did not get a picture with Bret and Kristi . . . bummer! Between the sickness and the busyness I guess we forgot . . . until now! Next time!
We are very glad that we were able to see so much of my family while we were there as well as Bret and Kristi. We wished we would have had more time to do more but hopefully we will be back next summer sometime!
