I packed up the Pilot and drove from St. Louis to New England with the three girls! About an hour outside of St. Louis, I started wondering WHAT I had been thinking when I planned this trip! About 45 miles outside of New Haven, CT (where I met my mom and handed off the girls for the weekend so I could go ref some lacrosse on Long Island), Memorial Day weekend traffic had me in tears! Those last tiring 45 miles took a good 3 hours...and all my sanity!
Everyone made it through the weekend just fine, in the end.
On Monday, we went to Alyssa's parents' house on Bow Lake and enjoyed the water.
And some singing...
...some goofing with the cousins...
...and some canoeing!
Look who's 9 months old!
Not so excited about the life jacket.
Thanks Johansons and Kjendals for a fun day!
Together in the tub
Hanging at Grandma & Grandpa's (where I really didn't take any pictures!)
Look who's 9 months old!
My sweetie...and a little bit of a ham too.
And she sure likes Uncle Dave (and Uncle Ben)!
"Auntie" Jen and her little baby Colin!
Renee's hilarious daughter Sophie and cute little Irish man Ian.
They seemed to all have a lot of fun playing together.
Even Hazel and Colin.
(maybe not Colin...)
And THE CAR RIDE HOME. Never a great time, but the girls were superb. Mom, on the other hand, was a little cranky. But we made it! In one piece and with all kids accounted for. That's a success in my book!
Not sure that I'll do it again alone though...
(getting a little tired and slap-happy perhaps?)
