We left at noon Wednesday and drove half way to stay in this very fun hotel room.
It actually had 1 queen size bed, 2 full size beds, and 2 twin beds in one room! Joshua was very proud to sleep in his pack and play right next to me! We found this room on-line for $138 which included a yummy breakfast. It was a wonderful stopping spot!
This road trip was the first time Joshua had heard my GPS "talk." He was so excited that Auntie Emily was telling us how to get to her house. When the computer would speak, Joshua would giggle and yell "Auntie Emily helping!" I have a feeling our GPS will be forever called "Emily!"
We finally arrived at Uncle Reed's house about 6PM Thursday. It was so, so good to see them!
The teenagers spent most of the weekend jumping on the trampoline, watching TV, and eating junk food.
Sierra learned to flip!
Jay did too!
This is our nephew Tyler. He is about 6 weeks younger than Krissy. Jamison really misses having him close by!
This is Brenna and our nephew Kaden. Kaden is almost a year older than Brenna. They get along really well! The BEST part about cousins is that no matter how long it has been since you hung out together, you can pick up right where you left off. Cousins are instant friends, almost like siblings but WAY less annoying!
Reed and Emily have an empty lot right next door, so Uncle Reed cut in a secret door for Kaden to escape and play in the wild! How totally fun is that? Here are the youngest three kidos peaking through the secret door.
We do not have any trees so my kids think raking is FUN!
Here is Kaden showing Joshua how to hide in the leaves. Oh, my is he cute!
Oh, my is he cute, too!!!!
We got up at 2:45 yesterday morning and drove like crazy people to be home last night around 7. The kids all did totally awesome and really did not grumble or bicker until about 10 minutes from our house.
So Reed and Emily, thank you for a super weekend! We loved all the relaxation, seeing your home, catching up, and eating Reed's yummy cooking! We will not wait another 5 years before we take another road trip to your neck of the woods!
(We did eat Ethiopian food... but that story deserves a post ALL of its own!)
