Another day of Driving!

On Sunday we got back in the car and took the three hour trip to Moville, IA, which is where Brad's dad grew up and where his Grandparents still live, for The "Rippke Christmas".
We go to the senior center in Moville and eat lunch, have a gift exchange and just talk and hang out. The food is really good and the family is really fun!!! We had a really nice time and everyone loved Parker and I got to meet cousins that I had never met before. It was a really nice time and Brad and I came out with some pretty good gifts from the white elephant exchange.
After a nice afternoon in Iowa we drove back to Genoa. Parker had a breakdown but who could blame him.!? We had been in the car for 18 hours in the past three days. We were all ready to be out of the car!!!

Some of the Rippke clan hanging out!!
