GAA: Missouri Family Time!

Our next stop was Kansas City, MO for family time with the Wheeler side of the family. Gavin got to meet his great Aunt Judy and my cousins Meghan and Kristin along with Kristin's kids Will and Maddie! At this point in the trip, Gavin had started taking a couple steps on his own but wasn't quite ready for walking yet. I think the most steps he took during this visit was about 4 or 5 before he lost his balance.

During our short visit, we took Gavin to Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead to check out the different farm animals and play on the playground. He got to see lots of animals for the first time and attempted to feed baby goats!! They were a little rambunctious!!

Next up was St. Charles, Missouri to visit with my Aunt Marilyn. Her house is full of collectibles, so we had to really watch Gavin so he didn't break anything.  We did get pictures of him in an antique high chair that I had sat in as an infant and my Dad as well!

GAA: Family time in Wichita!

We were able to stop off in Wichita for a few days to hang out with the Brinda clan!! Sorry it's taking me awhile to post the rest of these photos but it is getting harder to find time on the computer!! Thank you again to Paula and Mark for letting us crash at your place! Gavin had a blast meeting all of his Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and especially Grandma and Grandpa Brinda!

One of the days we were in town, most of the family got together at a local park for a picnic so we could visit with everyone! It was great to see so much of the family at once and Gavin got to practice his charms on everyone!
