A Trip to Troy

 The second weekend in March, we headed down to Troy, NC to visit Brent's grandparents. He has always called them Mama and Papa. So to our girls, they are Big Mama and Big Papa. We planned with them when we visited at Thanksgiving to come back and see them again in the spring. So we were so glad to be able to get back to visit them again.

We headed out to eat with them Friday evening at their local Italian restaurant. Since we were sitting  in a booth, I actually got the girls sitting still for a few pictures!

 Then we headed back to Big Mama and Papa's to visit and spend the night. Our girls love to play magnets here. They will move them around and around for the longest time.

 This is about the only other picture I have of Rachel from the entire visit. Did I mention we were in stop and go traffic on the way and Rachel got carsick? Except after we got back from supper, we realized it wasn't just carsick... So after we got Rachel settled and cleaned everything in sight to try to keep Brent's grandparents from getting sick, we were able to visit a little more together before everyone headed to bed.

 Did I mention we also forgot to pack Rebekah's pack-n-play in the van?

 Saturday morning brought a new visitor. Nana drove over from her house to visit with us too while were at Big Mama and Papa's house. We were all glad to get to visit with her for the day as well.

Can you see me now?

 Rebekah and Big Papa spent a lot of time together. Here she is- getting a ride with Big Papa.

 We visited most of the day and enjoyed lunch together. We enjoyed Bojangles for lunch because you know we have to eat Bojangles at least once every time we visit North Carolina! Before we knew it, it was time to pack up and head back to Virginia.

We had a wonderful visit with Brent's grandparents and hope to get back down to see them this summer. We have already told them we are coming back for a visit when everyone is feeling well and we can visit a bit longer.

Big Mama and Papa, we love you very much! We pray for you often and we thank God for you!
