Great Grandpa Culpepper

After the beach my parents, sister, Penelope and Evie and I headed to Des Moines so we could spend some special time with Great Grandpa Culpepper. This was the first time Evie had met him and it was extra special as she got to spend her "official" first birthday there! 

It was definitely a LONG day of flying to get there--up at 4am and finally arrived around 2pm--not so fun with two toddlers in tow but I must say Evie did pretty well. She even got to fly in first class!

Meeting Great Grandpa Culpepper
A few minutes after saying hello, Evie immediately grabbed his cane and ran off! It was quite hilarious!
I guess she couldn't believe Great Grandpa would give her such a HUGE cool stick to play with!

She loved meeting him although she wouldn't quite sit still for him to hold her...
My Aunt and Uncle have a huge backyard and we spend a lot of time outside exploring and deer spotting.

We had to have a little cousin bath time too!
Great Grandpa had to watch out as if her turned his back, Evie would run off with his cane again! Too cute!

We even had a little cooking lesson while we were there as Great Grandpa taught us how to make his special hamburgers
