Hannibal is our kind of Town!









Although it was a six hour drive one way, Mom and Dad decided to visit my Uncle Nathan, Aunt Jenoa, my cousin Asher, Grandma and Grandpa and some new friends (Ginny, Uncle Don, and Grandma Mary) in Missouri. We had so much fun. The first night we played with a duck game, read some books and visited family. Then on Saturday we went out on the boat. I can't begin to explain how much fun that was. Grandma Hope held me tight while Uncle Don drove the boat. He took us to a calm area in the lake and Mom and Dad let me swim. I loved it. I also tried out a thing called a "hot dog". I was so tired from all the swimming and boating that I tried to sleep a little on the boat, but decided it was best to get home so that mom and dad could go back out and do some more advanced things. Daddy tried skiing but didn't take to it so well, however he mastered the tube. Mom loved knee boarding and with two attempts got up on skis. Overall, this was my favorite trip. Everyone was so nice and I got to watch Veggie Tales with Asher. He is a wonderful cousin and I miss him already.

It was a fun weekend Tessa; I am so glad that your Mommy and Daddy decided to come. We will have to do that again.
