Out of Town...

The kids and I went "out of town" for two days and one night the other day. My Mom is visiting my Grandmother for a couple of weeks so I decided to take the drive up to visit for a night. It is too long a drive for my kids to do the trip in one day. My sister and her kids went up for the day too. Once we arrived we spent some time enjoying the sunshine on the deck while the kids got out some extra energy. Ben took a snooze while I snuggled him in the wrap. AAAHHH...

Oh, for all of you who may be worried, we definately brought Mr. Octopus along!

After a bit we decided to put the kids back in the car to take a ride over to my uncles camp ground about a half hour away. My Uncle Jim took us all on a wagon ride which was so relaxing and fun! We stopped and did a little nature walk. The kids spotted a polliwog in the water and Uncle Jim found "beaver sticks" for all the kids. It was just wonderful and hopefully we will be spending some time this summer at the campground.

The kids were super excited to spend the night camping in Great Grammie's living room. My mom and Grammy set up a tent for the kids to sleep in. It was a lot of fun for them and the best part is that they were so tired we didn't hear a peep out of them once the door was shut!

The ride home was quiet for a little while but then Ben woke up and the screaming began! He does not like the car one single bit! When I finally got a chance to pull over he was full of smiles. Luckily he only fussed on and off for the rest of the ride.... Once we arrived home the kids let loose in the yard to get out the pent up energy!

It was a fun trip and I am so glad we went. Having four generations together makes for wonderful memories!
