Road Trip

Kyle's Grandpa passed away a couple weeks ago. While this was a sad time for the family, it was also a very happy time. We were surprised with a phone call from Grandma asking us to come to Cleveland where the rest of the family was going to be and spend some time together. This was on a Saturday morning so we packed up all our stuff and hopped in the car to head out for the two day drive.

We stocked up the car with the kids' toys from church, packed a cooler, and took off. They were both pretty excited to go see their cousins...

Gabbie decided to investigate the purpose of the shower cap when we stopped at a hotel for the night.

The next day of driving was a hard one. We were pretty tightly packed into the car and the kids were getting bored. Gabs asked for some snacks and the next time I turned around to see what she was doing, I saw this...

She had lined her teddy grahams up in a row, was making a merry-go-round, and having a family of a mommy, daddy, baby, brother and sister talk to each other.

Noah had a hard time taking naps during our trip in the car but whenever he did fall asleep he sure looked cute.

Daddy driving...

And this is what happens when an 11 month old gets bored in the car.

Here's the merry-go-round...

And this is what I looked like on the second day of our drive. I woke up that morning with terrible allergies and even after 2 different allergy pills and some other medicine, I still didn't feel better. Needless to say, I was not very happy about the picture.

More pictures from our trip to follow.
