My Uncle Dwight, the last surviving of my Pop's brothers passed away on Father's Day. I really wanted to go to the funeral to see my Aunt Barbara and to take the kids. So this past Wednesday Bethany and Mom met at our house and we drove to Burlington, NC. Then Thursday morning we went on to Richmond and to the service that afternoon. We spent Thursday night at the Livesay's home and then drove the whole way back on Friday. The kids were AMAZING! We only made one stop, at Chick-fil-a for lunch and a play break on Friday! Lydda Grace loved staying in a hotel on Wednesday night and was particularly excited about the continental breakfast :) Though for a sad reason, it was a really good trip and I'm so glad we were able to go (Jon had to stay home and work and got some good time in on his dissertation).
A former colleague and friend of Uncle Dwight's and Aunt Barbara's hosted a reception at their home after the service, it was so nice and such a sweet time to catch up with family.
With Aunt Barbara
Uncle Talley brought Lydda Grace a flower from the fruit bouquet... she loved it and ate the cantaloupe center in one bite :)
