Road Trip!

Over Labor Day weekend we took our first big family road trip. We drove about three hours to visit Grandpa & Granny Rain and all of the other Gliser family that lives up that way. We thought it would be best to start the drive around the kids' bedtime and it worked out great. They slept nearly the whole way there, then just put them straight to bed once we arrived. Julia did wake up scared in the middle of the night and got to spend the rest of it snuggled with Daddy.
Breakfast the next morning. The kids look so big eating at a table without highchairs or booster seats. They loved it!
This is Sam's idea of a good breakfast. Toast, eggs, milk, and tractor!
Next up was a visit to Great Grandpa & Grandma Gliser. Sweet Little Bit gave him a smooch. The kids had never met this side of the family but they didn't take long to warm up at all. (especially Soph...).
Next up was a quick visit with Aunts and Uncles.
Kiddos were getting tired so we drove to our next stop - a visit with Great Aunt & Uncle Helen & Eddie.

And score! Cousin Debbie was there too! She and Sophie had a nice little walk together.

The kids got a good nap in and were ready for more visiting.The next day was spent around the house visiting and playing. Grandpa and Granny Rain have tons of space to run around and explore. It'll be so fun as they get older too!



Look what they had set up!
We left Sunday night at bedtime. The kids were getting tired. Here's our parting shot!


The kids really did so well - we pushed them to their limits staying up past nap and bed time and they were still very well behaved (as much as can be expected from three almost two year olds)!
