Great Grandma

On Sunday August 22nd we made the trip down to Forrest, Illinois to see Grandma Riedel. Nick and I had not been down to see grandma in a WHILE. Mom and Don were in for Claudia’s wedding and we thought that it was the perfect opportunity to go down to see her and meet Brin. Chris and Nona and the kids came along. Nick and I had just purchased the new car (Mazda CX 9) the night before, so that made the hour and a half drive go pretty quick and more “fun”. Nick was having a VERY hard time not having hand controls on the new car…so I drove…he didn’t like it. :)

When we got to Grandma’s we got a phone call from Aunt Bobbi that she was having us over for lunch. So we picked up grandma and took her to Bobbi’s for lunch. We had sloppy joes, chips, and pistachio salad. YUM!

Grandma enjoyed getting to meet Brin for the first time. She loved trying to get her to smile and do her ever famous tickle fingers. Here are some pictures of the day!
