Road Trip 2013 – Part 4 – Baltimore

These pictures below are from our visit to Baltimore this year. My mom is from Baltimore, so there is lots of family to visit up there, especially since she is one of 8 children.

When we visit we usually stay with my Uncle Larry and Aunt Sallie, here's Uncle Larry playing with Bethany.


Here’s Levi’s First Trip up to Baltimore, which was for Thanksgiving.  We had a lot of fun then and we did again this time with another little one.

Bethany was slightly younger than Levi on his first trip.


P1120996.JPG

But she liked playing on the hard wood floors just as much.

Levi is obviously a lot different, and spent some time coloring with Uncle Larry.

We went to visit my granny a few days before her birthday party. We got a four generations picture with all of us.


P1130006.JPG

My grandmother just turned 90 and is doing pretty well for that age, though she's had some falls that make her nervous to move around much.


P1130007.JPG

Bethany made herself at home in Aunt Carol's chair.


P1130010.JPG

Levi couldn't let her get all the attention, so he hopped in too.


P1130012.JPG

We have pictures of Levi being held by Barb as an infant and now we have one with Bethany. She does a great job with kids.

All smiles


P1130016.JPG

My cousin Thomas hates his picture being taken, so this required stealth and got me glared at afterwards.


P1130018.JPG

My Aunt Doris is always ready to hold a baby.


P1130026.JPG

My cousins Liz and Laura held Bethany and Isabella for this shot. Isabella is my second cousin, daughter of Christina.

Adriana on Isabella's lap, next to Thomas and Levi.


P1130037.JPG

Thomas obviously didn't notice Kendra taking pictures.


P1130046.JPG

Levi was out with the big kids I'm sure talking their ears off.


P1130047.JPG

Lots of cousins


P1130049.JPG

I'm not sure how Levi talked them into this


P1130052.JPG

He had a lot of fun


P1130054.JPG

He loves playing with all the big kids.


P1130055.JPG

There were a lot of kids


P1130056.JPG

This is Hannah, who is obviously very tolerant of 5 year olds riding piggy back style


P1130059.JPG

Most of the adults stuck inside with the air conditioning.


P1130061.JPG

Granny and her cake. I think that is Granny's childhood friend Betty at the table. I am sure my mom can correct me.


P1130062.JPG

The crowd watching


P1130063.JPG

Singing happy birthday.


P1130067.JPG

Bethany was a trooper with all those people around.


P1130072.JPG

Hanging out with her cousin.


P1130075.JPG

Aunt Carol got to spend some time with her and even change a dirty diaper.


P1130085.JPG

Bethany enjoyed her lunch.


P1130088.JPG

Raymond was hanging out with Levi, who was playing games on his leap pad. Obviously Thomas saw the camera this time.


P1130093.JPG

Levi had a very interesting Phineas and Ferb game


P1130094.JPG

We had a lot of cars there, my family is definitely not small.


P1130096.JPG

My Uncle Kenny, Aunt Linda and Bethany


P1130099.JPG

P1130103.JPG

My mom got some time snuggling with Levi.


P1130117.JPG

My mom and her 7 siblings all together for the first time in 15 years


P1130121.JPG

Its hard to coordinate 8 family's schedules and travel to get everyone together often


P1130127.JPG

Its also hard to get them all to hold still for a picture


P1130130.JPG

My mom, the oldest is bossing them around through most of this.


P1130135.JPG

Levi is downstairs watching TV with another cousin.


P1130138.JPG

They were quite content chilling in the basement.


P1130141.JPG

All 8 with Granny.
