First Plane Ride and Trip to San Antonio

The weekend of September 7th was quite busy for us! We went to San Antonio for the weekend for John's grandfather's 95th birthday. We were supposed to drive, but we opted to fly when I found a great Southwest fare. Carly did great on each leg of the trip. She slept most of the way, and when she wasn't sleeping I had a pacifier in her mouth (as you can see in the picture below).

On Friday night, most of John's Dad's family came over to meet Miss Carly.

Grandpa is so funny!


Saturday night was the big party for Opie. For those who don't know, John has a very large family. As in 130+ folks from his grandfather down the line through the spouses and grandchildren. Here are a few pics of the party.

Great grandkids in attendance. A few grandchildren (including John) are also in the picture to hold the little or the squirming ones.

Grandchildren and spouses. There are many grandchildren missing from the picture, but you should get an idea of what I mean by "large" family.

Four generations. John's Mom, Opie, John, and Carly. Opie is #1 in the family, Carly is #134.

Carly in her cute outfit. The hat didn't stay on for long!

And one last picture. Thanks Auntie Laura for making this cute shirt! Carly wore it while watching football with her dad and Uncle Clark.
