SURPRISE!!!

January has been a VERY busy yet VERY fun month for us! We started out with a trip to Iowa to surprise the Tripp side of the family! Super Fun! The only person who had any idea we were coming was Kendal's dad! The look on everyone's face when we showed up was priceless! Especially Kendal's Mom! Kennedy had a blast visiting with her favorite cousin! She spent 3 whole days following him from room to room playing & giggling :-) Couldn't have asked for a better time! After 5 days in Iowa it was time for Kendal to get back to work, he got on a plane back to Charleston while Kennedy and I hopped on a plane headed to Cleveland to spend the rest of the month with Grammy & Papa:-) I'll have pictures of our trip to Ohio up next week but for now I am enjoying a look back at our trip to the VERY COLD mid west!!

Our 1st evening in town the whole gang went out to dinner at Quaker Steak & Lube...

While at dinner a few of the boys decided to try the "triple atomic wings"
They had to sign a waiver before taking a bite and eat the darn things with rubber gloves on!
I think from the looks of these pictures~ they were all feeling the burn!! Haha!
