Roadtrip to Mimi & Papa's

We recently took a trip to my Mimi & Papa's house in Arizona. We decided to drive rather than fly so we could take our time and stop when we needed to stop. I thought it would be less stressful than flying with the kids, and boy was I.......RIGHT! :) The kids did amazing both on the way there and the way back! This trip confirmed that I love road trips!


Here's Ethan trying out the neck pillow in our rented Minivan.



This was right after bath time in the hotel in Albuquerque. Ethan was a little excited to be there! It's the first hotel stay that he remembers.....


(Notice how Annaliese just watches while Ethan is going crazy!)


At Papa & Mimi's house. Ethan was so excited to have a special little bed to sleep in!



Johnnie is my cousin, Ethan's 2nd cousin. They were instantly best friends and had a blast with each other all week.

This is at my Aunt Sherrie's and Uncle Dave's house for Mimi's 70th birthday party.

I love this picture of Ethan watching Mimi open her presents!

Papa swinging the boys. Notice how both boys have their mouths wide open.....I'm not sure what they were doing! :)

We had such a fun time catching up with Mimi & Papa and all the aunts, uncles and cousins. I wish we lived closer!
