Trip to Virginia to Visit the Park Family

Papa, Omi and Claire headed to Virginia on November 25.  We drove all day and got there at bedtime.
Claire was a real trooper on the drive, talked our ears off, snacked and did projects.  Not much napping!

The boys were SO happy to see her.  They had a wonderful vacation together.

Bethanie and Maverick search for the perfect real Christmas tree.

This is "the one".  We hauled it home on the top of the car.

Maverick helped Papa put together the tree stand.

We got to watch Brody practice and play hockey. 

 

 Unbelievable strength and stamina.  He loves it.  Daddy is a coach, so gets to be on the ice with him.

 

 Omi & Papa with hockey Brody.  We will repost when he's famous.  Claire & her hockey buddy.

Papa helped with the gingerbread house.

Omi helped too.  It turned out to be a real beauty!
