Turner's Big Adventure

Turner has had a week of firsts. He took his first bottle and sucked it down like a champ. Then he went on his first roadtrip where he met several relatives for the first time and even attended his first wedding (congratulations to Della and Buddy!).
Here's Turner getting all shined up for his road trip.
Turner took his first bottle in stride but gave some strange looks to the person feeding him.
The first road trip was to, appropriately enough, Boone, NC. On Friday night, Turner got to meet his Uncle Adam for the first time.
And he met Adam's girlfriend Melissa.
Here's Melissa holding her dog Kiya, who also attended the Turner soiree.
Here's Turner enjoying some Japanese food on Friday night. He loves teriyaki steak.
On Saturday we attended a wedding at a small church in the mountains. Kristen's friend Della got married that morning and then had a great reception complete with a bluegrass band and barbecue. Turner showed up dressed to the nines. He was really good during the ceremony and reception, barely making a peep.
These are Turner's boogie shoes.
On Saturday evening, we stopped in Trinity to see some family. This is Great Aunt Sandy holding the boy.
Gladys Ann also attended and participated.
But all Turner really wanted to do was see his Papaw...
And his Mamaw...And his Gran and Grandad (not pictured).
When it was all over, Matt and Kristen were exhausted but glad to have had the experience. Kristen was especially glad to have seen her friend Della happily married (and on her way to Belize)! Turner just wanted to kick back with a plate of his favorite baked good.

Thank you for bringing Turner to see his Gran in Trinity! I am not at all surprised that he was so good on his first trip. He is not only a beautiful baby, but so good too! Gran loves Turner!
