A Tale of Two Trips to Holbrook

It was the best of times. It was the best of times.

The mama of Cael needed a break. Or two.
The family on the side of the dad came to the rescue.

Thus begins the saga of Cael's home away from home, Holbrook, Arizona.

Journey One...
Eating ice cream at Dairy Queen
Asleep on Uncle Gunnar's shoulder at Jalen's scrimmage football game
Dozing on Aunt Kirsti's couch while watching Nemo
Playing in the sprinklers at Aunt Kirsti's
Playing ball and looking quite like Dad


Journey Two...
Meeting Aunt Julie at Mobil in Snowflake; Cael dressed as Sporty Spice
Asleep on Great-grandpa's couch in Woodruff
Spinning with Aunt Sarah
Drinking stolen milk
Little Chopin playing his etude
Eating French fries before Jalen's game in Snowflake
It is a far, far better thing that they do for us than I have ever done. It is a far, far better rest that Cael gets on shoulders and couches than he has ever known.

Note: My apologies to Charles Dickens.

What a great family you have. Both for loving Cael so completely and for giving you a little break.

Loved having him. Glad you could have some you time...and I guess some you and Paul time :)
