Road Trip – Day 15
We took our time this morning, got ready, had breakfast, packed up & got out of the hotel around 11:00.
First stop was Babies R’ Us – I had underestimated Annika’s ability to poop on our 3 day trip over the mountains, so we had to buy some more diaper wipes. (Even though I had just bought a huge pack at Wal-Mart before we left, but I only brought with us two traveling cases worth.)
Next we drove about an hour to Matt’s Uncle Bob & Aunt Shirley’s house – in Buckley, WA. We had a nice day there with Matt’s aunts/uncles, cousins & parents. The cousins have lots of kids as well, so our kids had playmates – they had a great time! The weather is perfect for us to grill out, the kids to play, and everyone to visit inside or out.
We left around 5:30 and headed back over the mountain to Matt’s parents house. We pulled off for dinner around 7:00. (the kids picked Quizno’s again) We didn’t really care where as we were pretty full from the BBQ – but kids… they always want to eat. We were glad we weren’t driving the opposite direction as there was lots and lots of traffic that way. Annika wasn’t too happy for a portion of the trip, so we made another stop to see if we could help her out, but we didn’t really ever figure out what the problem was. Thankfully she got over it eventually. We got back to Matt’s parents around 9:30. (So it wasn’t as late as I thought it was going to be when I blogged last night.)
I think the kids were in bed around 10:00. Tomorrow we head to the family cabin at Blue Lake. I’m not sure what we will do with Annika there, as she hates grass, and there are too many burrs and such anyway to let her crawl around. I’m sure we’ll figure something out. The boys are ecstatic to go! The older two remember playing there before we moved, and they all went the other day to put the dock in, but they didn’t get to swim. Should be another fun day.
