Oh what a trip!!

Carly and I were able to go to Ohio this past weekend. Uncle Leo (Ammon), Aunt Franki, and Aunt Dana were in their school play. Oh my goodness! They did awesome!

Breanna and I drove over with Olivia (our 2 year old niece), Carly, and (our 7 month old niece) Katelyn. We took Anton and Breanna's car and had the three car seats in the back. Oh what a trip! I was pretty much facing the back for six hours on the way there while Breanna drove. And then we switched and I drove the last three hours. 

At one point, Olivia was almost asleep as I was stroking her legs. Katelyn was getting a little fussy so I was trying to hurry and find the formula to make her a bottle! And Carly was starting to wake up and stir because of the fussy babies. aaahhhh. hurry hurry! But we did it! We drove over on Thursday and came back yesterday (Monday). It was a quick trip but gave Oma and Papa time to see grand babies and Breanna and I went and saw the play.

We were able to go to COSI. I think Papa was most excited about this. He went to the kid area with Breanna and I and the babies.

They had all these different stations for the kids. Trains, helicopter, slides, a barn, water! a house, a market with play food. It was so fun. The girls really liked it and it wore them out!

Olivia pushing Carly. 
Yes, Carly was in love with this bike.
She picked up this skunk in "the barn" because it looks just like her stuffed animal Jack! haha JA JA.

On the GO!
Carly and Katelyn playing in the water. They loved it!
We tried the rain coat. She is just so darn cute.
Yes, we both got really wet.
My little cowgirl. She wouldn't keep her hat on.

In the car on our way home from COSI. She was exhausted!
Before church with Papa. First time wearing the dress Oma and Papa got her for Easter.
She even fell asleep on me in Relief Society! This never happens. Think she might be teething??? Sick?? poor girl.
Peacefully sleeping on our way home to Iowa. Katelyn and Olivia.
After we dropped off Breanna, Katelyn, and Olivia we headed home. Thank goodness for the sun because she had to close her eyes and stop crying to fall asleep.
We drove into the sunset on our way home. It was so pretty. Good thing I am too short to even use the sun visor. haha

  1. I know what you mean about being too short for the sun visor! It's so frustrating! I finally got rx sunglasses, though, and I guess I'm used to the sun being in my eyes because I don't use them half of the time! haha It was great to see you all. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Carly is completely adorable. And your brother and sisters were awesome in the play! I wish we had gone the same night so we could have talked a little more. I'm glad you're all home safe. Until next time....I'll keep reading the blog. ;)
