Last weekend was another milestone for Mr. Jack - he took his first trip! After packing up everything a baby could ever need for his first vacation, we headed out to California. Jack was a superstar on the trip there. He slept and, when he wasn't sleeping, he was busy enjoying his beautiful self in his lion mirror. He just stared at himself for hours.We were lucky enough to stay with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Will, and Aunt Sassy. Our first morning there, we met up with Jack's great-grandma and great-aunt Shari for breakfast. (Unfortunately Mommy was a terrible photographer and forget to get out her camera half the time. There will be more pictures to come from Aunt Kathleen later)
That afternoon, we met up with Nana and PopPop, who flew in from Texas to be there for Jack's blessing. We ate lots of yummy Mexican food and doted on the King of the Babies.
Saturday Jack was overloaded with women. He went to cousin Elizabeth's baby shower and then to the Relief Society General Broadcast. He was jealous of the men who got to stay home and watch football. Fortunately, his cousin Wylde showed up at the baby shower with his newly broken elbow and they were able to have some male bonding time.
Sunday was the big day, the major reason for our journey - the big blessing! Dallin did an awesome job and it was a very special experience. We had lots of family there, including all of his Strong and Christensen relatives and Nana and PopPop and great-uncle Joseph and cousin Terrin.
Unfortunately Nana and PopPop had to leave after church, but the rest of the gang gathered for a yummy dinner and Jack had a photo shoot with his Aunt Kathleen (pictures to come later).
Monday Jack was sad to say goodbye to his family and head home. Hence, he whined and cried most of the drive back. It's just too hard to say goodbye.
He recouped yesterday by lounging around his house in his onesie. What a weekend!
