A few weeks ago we took a trip up north to visit Rick's mom. We were going to leave Saturday night after Rick got off of work but towards the end of his shift they sent him on a long distance transfer to San Fransisco and he didn't get home till 11pm, so there was no way we could leave. I had the car all loaded up so somewhat early the next morning we headed out. I was a bit worried about how the kids would do on the long car ride. We usually only take short trips to Disneyland or the beach. They did surprisingly well, Matthew slept and watched movies and Lilly slept at least half of the trip and the other half she must have played she only cried about five minutes out of the entire six hour drive.
While we were there Matthew had a blast playing with his Nana! He got to swim in Nana's hot tub! We also went to several parks, one was the most amazing park I've ever been to! It had a castle and under ground tunnels a pirate ship and a sea serpent, several forts, swings and a sand box. Matthew had so much
fun we had to drag him out kicking and screaming!
Several people including Rick's mom have commented on how much Lilly looks like Rick's grandma Ione Bailey, so while we were there Bev pulled out some Pictures of Ione when she was about Lilly's age. The resemblance is amazing!
On the last day of our trip we met Rick's mom for dinner before we left! I think Matthew was sad to say good bye, but ready to go home (change in routine is very difficult on my kids so being away from home for several days is really had on them). However since we have been home Matthew has asked several time to "go see the Nana that lives far away." I told him we will have to go back soon!
