Memorial Day Weekend 2011

 

Saturday

6:30am

Collin had been up all of 5min. Can’t you tell??   I cracked up when I saw this!6am and ready to start our trip! What a face!!!This is better and brighter.  He LOVES to drive.  We usually let him when we are only going to my mom’s.  (She lives on the next street over in case you are wondering)On our way to Florida

Our drive down to Florida went great in our new van.  The kids rode most of the way in their jammies and watched DVD’s or played the iPod.      IMG_8270IMG_8271

It was hard on Collin to have Mommy sitting right next to him and not take him out.  He just didn’t understand why it was nap time and I wasn’t holding him… He finally gave out! IMG_8272

We made it to my Aunt SueSue’s house that afternoon.  Here she is with her flag cake.IMG_8274

Mom and Grandaddy  (this weekend is when my mom’s side of the family gets together for a reunion.  They have been doing this since the 70’s )

That top picture cracks me up.

I'm sure you loved having a brand new van to take on a trip and probably a little scared to have three kids in your brand new van for a long trip!
