Dawson's First Road Trip

Over Easter we went on a road trip to BC to visit some of Dave's family. We were a little apprehensive, as we had no idea how Dawson would handle hours in his car seat, but he did quite well. It probably helped that Auntie Becki came along to keep him entertained. Dawson's favorite part of the ride was Banff National Park, he giggled and cooed the entire time, we think he must have liked the feeling of the curvy roads and the tunnels! The only part of the trip he didn't enjoy was driving the Coquihalla highway, it was too high up in the mountains and his ears kept popping.

Strapped in and ready to go!

Our first stop was in Summerland, BC to visit the Ferguson's. The weather was awesome while we where there. It was so nice to see tulips and trees in blossom, especially since the day before we had come from 10" of snow! Highlights for Dawson were Auntie and Uncle's ceiling fan(he could have stared at that for hours) and jumping on their trampoline.

Next we headed to Abbotsford to visit Grandpa and Grandma Magnus and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. This was their first time meeting Dawson and he put on all the charms! Great Auntie Wanda even let him lay on the dinning room table, amidst all of her fine china, and stare up at their massive chandelier! He thought this was great, mom found it very nerve racking!

Dawson was born on Great Grandpa's Birthday, hence why Dawson was given great grandpa's name as a middle name! Dawson and Grandpa are exactly 80 years apart.
