Road trip to PA

We went last weekend down to Beaver Falls, PA to see our friends Joanna and Taylor before they moved away. They've been like family to us and we love them so much. It was such a blessing to get to spend time with them for a few days. Campbell is in love with her Aunt Jo & Uncle Taylor as well as our dear friend Ryan who is also called Uncle Ryan. Here's a few pictures of our time together:

Jeff driving us down to PA - it is a 4 1/2 hour drive but with Cams the trip usually takes about 6 hours because we have to stop.

Sweet girl - Campbell was so excited to see her Uncle Ryan that she was an ANGEL the whole drive down. Uncle Ryan was good motivation. Jeff and I couldn't even believe how good she was on that first car ride! The car ride back however was not as easy. 

After we checked into our hotel Campbell wanted to wear a dress (are we surprised? :) ) to go see Uncle Ryan. We weren't going to be able to see Joanna & Taylor till the next morning. So off we went, all cute to have dinner with some friends from Geneva.

Uncle Ryan and Campbell - together at last! :)* Poor Ryan, about every 20 seconds Cams was saying "Uncle Ryan! Uncle Ryan!" He was a great sport and gave her lots of attention and love. 

Our friends Matthew and Celisse who have both been hired to be RDs at different schools next year. In a way it was our goodbye with them too. We love these two!

The next day we went to spend time with Taylor, Jo & Ryan and we went to an really cool park that was built like a big castle. Princess Campbell loved it! :) 

We are rich in friendship. 

Taylor, Joanna and Ryan conspired to surprise Jeff with an early birthday ice cream cake - it was special to celebrate together! Thanks you guys!

The Llama is a whole story unto itself - lets just say it made Jeff's day! Thanks Missy & Ryan!

Aunt Jo - how we love her!!! We miss her terribly! Joanna was the person that helped Jeff and I make it through the first year with Campbell while we were working full time and I was doing grad school too. She taught me so much. 

Wonderful friends.

It was a great trip. Very special to us. We miss our friends so much but we know we'll always be part of each others lives. Blessings on you, Taylor & Jo - May the Lord bless you incredibly in your next adventure!
