This past weekend (Saturday, June 22nd) we packed up the car and headed to St. Michael to visit your cousins Ava and Cameron. This was our first overnight away from home. Man...how can something so small need so many things?!?!?! We didnt even have to bring half the stuff due to Cam being only 6 days older and having a lot of the necessary items. We def will need a bigger car someday!!
What should have been an under 2 hour car drive turned into a 3 hour drive due to 94 being closed..we had no idea so we soon went from 4 lanes to one and it took an hour to go about 5 miles. This was so frustrating! Thankfully you slept through the whole thing; otherwise we would have had one cranky baby on our hands.
When we finally arrived..we all packed up in the car again and headed to lunch at a local sports bar. The babes slept most of the time while Ava sat by me and craved my attention. Poor girl is used to being the only one and now there are three. We then headed back to Matt and Jodies and enjoyed the beautiful afternoon. Ava played in her blow up pool and we sat around with the babes and watched her splash around.
We then took a long walk with two strollers around their neighborhood. It was a little hot/muggy out but we still managed to enjoy the outdoors.
When we got back we fed and got the kiddos ready for bed and then the adults ordered pizza and enjoyed some kid free conversation..lol.
You did really good sleeping in a pack and play for the first time!! I was a little nervous on how this would go but you did great. You woke up a couple times to eat but went right back to sleep.
First overnight trip was very successful! Its so fun to see the two boys so close in age..they are pretty much the same size and doing the same types of things. Its fun to compare with Jodie too on what they are both doing and to get advice from them too!! Cant wait for our next cousin get together!!!
I love that Landon and his cousin are just a week apart. That is so fun!
