Ryan's mom planned to retire this year after teaching for over twenty years! We were trying to think of a fun way to celebrate this milestone in her life and Ryan came up with the fun idea to fly down and surprise Deborah. I did a quick search for plane tickets and found a steal on a direct flight with an ideal itinerary. We were able to get three tickets for less than we expected to pay for one - woohoo!!!! So we surprised the girls with a special trip with their daddy to fly down and surprise Grammy Deb on her last day of school! So much fun!
Passing time in the airport with a little game of Monopoly Deal. Gretchen caught in the act! But it didn't seem to matter . . . .
. . . . Bridgette won anyway! =)
The surprise went over great! And the girls loved their time with the Payne family, including cousins Phoebe and Cora, whom they met for the first time and were immediately smitten with!
They even got a cousin sleepover! Aunt Jessica rolled out the royal red carpet with a pallet on the living room floor for group sleeping, and pancakes in the morning!
Uncle Ryan and Uncle Sean with all the girl cousins =)
Though we would have loved to go to Oklahoma also, Rooke and I made the most of our special days together back at home. Food, games, movies, reading, more food, and a couple special outings made up our weekend.
