Nick, Grant, and I decided to make the trek up to South Dakota and visit my Grandparents. This was a pretty big deal because Grant had yet to meet his Great Grandparents. The trip was 10 hours one way so after a few stops here and there, a surprise overnight visit with Doug and Brandi, and a lot of Elmo-we survived our journey. Grant was a little trooper and we were very thankful that he traveled so well. He took a quick liking to all his Great Grandparents and had a great time exploring and getting into everything in their homes.
Not only did Grant get to spend some quality time with our Grandparents but he also had a great time chasing after his cousins, Lily and Lucy. This picture is the three of them in a rocking chair that was my moms. My Grandma Iversen said they did not have a real rocking chair so she would actually sit in this and rock my mom. We have many pictures of all us kids and cousins in this rocker so it's fun to have one of Grant and his cousins in it as well. We all had a great time on our little vacation to South Dakota and hope it won't be too long before we are back again.
Just before we left for South Dakota Grant was able to spend a little time with Hayden Howard. The boys were pretty cute to see together. They went from toy to toy and always seemed to want to play with the same one. Grant took Hayden into his favorite play area-the kitchen-and the boys were quite the duo. This picture is of Hayden pulling out all the Tupperware and Grant having a blast with it. We are looking forward to an afternoon at CoCo Keys with him in a couple weeks!
Here's Grant in his little monkey costume for Halloween. Nick said he was Curious Grant...quite fitting for him right now because he is into everything. :) We only went to a few houses before Grant was tuckered out and ready to be done with the costume. Notice the pic with his cute little tail (my personal favorite part of the costume :). Hope you all had a spooktacular Halloween!
