When you make an 8+hr drive (which takes considerably longer with little kids) you have to cram in as much visiting as possible while you're home.

Despite being home for a reunion on the other side of the family, we managed to fit in two visits with Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Simmons, and Auntie Gail (she's 'great' too!).

Mak remembers visiting them and for the first time on our trip seemed his old self.  Welcome back Mak - we missed you!!

And as always -- out came the rocking horse.
