Road trip

On our way home!

This past weekend we took a road trip. We drove to my grandparent's house in Wheaton on Friday afternoon. Unfortunately they were out of town for the weekend, but they were kind enough to let us stay at their house. On Saturday we went to the children's museum in Naperville. We all had a great time. We took naps back at the house and went to Chuck E Cheese for supper. As always, that place was crazy, but we actually had fun. :) On Sunday morning we drove to Sheboygan, WI and had lunch at Nate's aunt and uncle's house with other relatives. They were kind enough to watch the kids so Nate and I could visit Grandma DeMaster. She lives in a retirement home and her room is small. It would have been very stressful to bring the kids with. :) We then went to my aunt and uncle's house for supper. After that we went to a birthday party for Nate's Great-Aunt who turned 100! Nate's Grandma and Great-Aunt really enjoyed watching our kids run around. They loved to look at Isaac and stroke his cheeks and hands. Amazingly Isaac just stood there and let them. Although he was kind of spacing out, like "I'm pretending this isn't happening. " :) The kids were quite tired by Sunday evening, so we didn't last long at the party. We then went back to my aunt and uncle's house to sleep. I think we crammed too much into Sunday. For some reason kids do not switch time zones easily! They went to bed late every night, but still woke up super early. But, that is my only complaint of the weekend. On Monday morning we had breakfast with Nate's Grandma VanStelle and Aunt Linda. We then drove home. Overall the weekend went so well! The kids were healthy and travelled well. We turned Julia's carseat around and she did great in the car. I think she just feels better when she can see us. Now we are back home and back into our routine!
