Trip to IA

After a week in MN Grant flew into Minneapolis and we drove down to IA the next day. He could only take a week off and it didn't seem long enough to try to fit in both going to MN and IA in one week. Kiana got to meet many more of Grant's aunts, uncles, cousins and grandma and grandpa.

Here is Kiana playing a piano with her Great-Grandma Lois and Grammy Cindy. Since she just figured out the grabbing thing she tries to grab the keys, like with the laptop. She hasn't yet figured out to push the keys, so when she does hit them she gets excited when it makes noise.


Here are some more pictures of Great Grandma Lois and Great Grandpa Shorty.

Here's another four generation group picture.

One night of the first nights we were there her Grammy Cindy made dinner for the whole family so they could get together and play cards. A typical Brown get together. For those of you there we apologize for Kiana's outbursts, after it happened three nights in a row we realized that when she wants to go to bed she's gonna let you know it. So her fits is just her way of saying, "The party's over, I'm tired and you all need to get the heck out so I can go to sleep!"

She loved playing with her Great Aunt Tacy!

Here is Kiana with her great aunt Liz

Grant's cousins Wade and Tia were actually planning a trip to Colorado the same week we were coming to Iowa so it was nice of them to rearrange their plans so we could spend some time with them.

Another picture with great grandpa Shorty.

Kiana doing what she does best!

Kiana with the Maharry clan. She enjoyed watching them wrestle with each other, that if she could crawl I'm sure she would have tried to join in.
