Robyn's big adventure!!

Robyn's on her way to the Healthy Kids/Healthy Community Convention in Minnesota!!! She's also going to go to the Mall of America and that's the biggest excitement for her!! Yes, I'm an emotional wreck!! She and Tiz said their good-byes this morning, we opted to have Tiz go to school ahead of time, there were lots of tears shed. On Robbie's way to take Tiz to school, I called to check on her, her main concern.....if Robyn looses the suitcase, then we wouldn't be able to go on a family vacation. In other words, she bounced back for now. Then we took Robyn out to breakfast. We had lots of foolishness and laughs. She said the hardest part is saying good-bye, that she was excited about going. We got her to the school to meet the bus and the other students that are going. Lots of tears and hugs. But over all, we both did really well. We left as she got on the bus, so it would be a little easier, for her and me!! She's texted me several times, and is doing just fine. I knew she would be. They are sitting in the airport waiting for their 12:45 flight. I now have to get thru the flights!! But she's amazing, she's matured so much this past year. To think she's going to be giving a speech in front of strangers is amazing in itself!! Here's some pictures of the morning. Now off to clean to hopefully get rid of my nervous energy!




Saying good-bye to "Sissy"





Silliness!!
The suitcases. Grammy Tina....yours wasn't big enough! Hair straighners, shoes, clothes - definitely ended up using something bigger!

Oh sad photos of the girls!
But hey, glad that Tiz is keeping track of suitcases so that you can still have family vacations! You should be very proud of Robyn, I know Auntie and family are! She certainly has grown up quickly. She will certainly do a great job. I do hope she can restrain herself until she gets to the Mall of America!

I hope she has an awesome trip! It's one she'll remember forever!
You are very lucky to have such a great daughter!

(From Ashton): Good 'Ol Tizzy with her questions. God forbid she loses the suitcase. Haha. I can't believe how much Robyn has grown up... seems like just yesterday we were at each other's throats. She's such an AMAZING young woman, taking after cousin Ashy for sure! :) Tizzy on the other hand gets her thing from Bunj. Good luck to Robyn!

What a great experience for Robyn, Marg. I couldn't have done that at her age.
