Road Trip!

Gary was supposed to have practice Wednesday night, an away game on Thursday and a Lacrosse tournament in College Station this weekend. The boys and I decided we should go spend some time with our friends, the Ballards, and then make our way to spend the weekend with Oma, Grandpa, Uncle Mike and Aunt Robin.

I have to brag on my boys just a bit. It was a REALLY easy road trip... totally not expected when traveling with a newborn and a two-year-old. They did such a great job! We arrived to Erica and Elijah greeting us in the driveway. The boys were so excited to see each (as usual) and it was great to see Erica, too!

Grant found his new favorite book on Elijah's bookshelf. It's a book of poems, each poem about a different engine on Thomas & Friends. One night he actually fell asleep while clutching this book. It was so cute. Bathtime!

Thursday was icky and cold, so we gave the kiddos some indoor playtime at a jump house! Grant found a slide to go down a few times and then decided that I had to do it with him. Well, I went up and down with him a few times and then needed to feed Grayson. I tried to Grant to play with some of the toys on his own. No luck. He just threw a tantrum in the middle of the floor. That's how he spent his playtime... Elijah, on the other hand, had a grea time!

He even got his mom to join him!

Grant did like playing with the caution signs. Go figure!

This was my tired boy just seconds after leaving the Ballards. He must have been worn out from all that playing! After leaving, we made a stop to visit my family. Aunt Robin greeted the boys with new toys and we enjoyed some bar-b-que for dinner. Grant crawled up into Grandpa's lap that evening and passed out! Unfortunately, the rest of the evening didn't go so well for Grant. He was up all night vomitting. Poor thing! But we had a great time visiting the family!
