Doesn't this look like FUN? A 2,3,4, & 6 yr old in an SUV for 13 hours! Do you know how many rest areas & Cracker Barrels we hit? Just about EVERY ONE!! Too bad they wouldn't listen to me and put a pull-up on, it would have been so much easier, and quicker! The hand washing, the loud " DON'T TOUCH THE POTTY, RIGHT MOMMY?" The lining the toilets with paper, the shorts dragging on the peed floors! YUCK! This is one time I miss the diaper age!
Anyhow, we were off for a week to North Carolina to visit our daughters Betsy & Wendy. And to pick up Meg & Molly who had been there visiting for the month of June.
Our vacation extended over the 4 th of July so we had an extra special vacation. Miguel had a fabulous Fireworks display. The cops came too! That should tell you know how great it really was :) There's always ONE neighbor that just has to complain, isn't there?
We stayed the first 3 nights with Betsy and her family and the second 3 nights with Wendy and her family. I put the photos in order of our stay. This first set was on the way. We got out of the driveway pretty early for us, 8:30 AM. We tried for 7 AM, I think we did pretty good, we usually try for 7 and end up leaving at 11. I'm really bad at times and deadlines. I'm such a procrastinator, even when I'm anxious to go somewhere, and I was REALLY anxious to get to NC and see my sweet daughters again! These photos in the car are the ONLY time anyone slept :( and you see Miss Paisley? She's making "Chinese Eyes", like she needs to do that, what a crazy girl. She was listening to Chinese children's songs and wanted to be Chinese.
I personally think you must be nuts..LOL Kate's bladder is the size of a pea and I can't imagine trying to drive that far with her in the car. Her only saving grace is that she tends to sleep a lot on car trips (even to the Mall).
ReplyDeleteHeading up to see the Mouse this weekend - time to renew one of the passes. Epcot I think since there are lots of indoor spaces.
Susan and Kate
Well Susan, I'M jealous!! We have to renew EIGHT annual passes so it will be quite a while before we're back at the Mouse's House :(
ReplyDeleteI was checking out the pass prices yesterday, thinking we could renew ours in August NO WAY!
Goodness, how the prices have gone UP!!
Oh the public restrooms. I really think that Eric hasn't pushed to have a boy because he doesn't have to be the one to do the bathroom duty. My girls raise there arms up in the air and say I won't touch anything. Then when I tell them to wash their hands they say, "But I didn't touch anything!"
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh!
I think Eric hasn't pushed to adopt a boy because he doesn't want the public bathroom duty. My girls argue with me about washing hands because they didn't touch anything.
ReplyDeleteTricia,
ReplyDeleteI make the girls either hold my hands or put their hands on their legs, but they ALWAYS end up touching the potty anyway :(
And the boys? WHY do they have to touch everything? No one raises the seat at home, but that's the first thing they try to do when we are out! I don't want to even THINK about what goes on when Mike takes then into the men's room!
