This year Spring,break, my birthday, and our anniversary all fell together. I decided a trip would be fun for the whole family vs me getting presents (although I still love presents), So we decided to pack up and drive down to good ol' Texas. Ziff was pretty excited. He loves any chance he can get to see his family down there. He was so excited that he just couldn't wait to leave so Friday after his class, we ate dinner, bathed Lilly, packed up the car and started our drive. It took about 16 hours or so to get there, because by 3 am we were both exhausted and needed to stop for a bit. There are no rest stops though along the way so we eventually had to stop at a gas station and rest there. Lilly was a pretty good sport. She slept the first 4 hours till we had to stop for our first fill up and then she was up and wired till 5 am!! She finally gave in and went back to sleep. We brought some DVDs along, but she only watch 20 minutes of Elmo and the rest of the time she entertained herself by talking to her stuffties and singing. It was a good drive aside from my numb bum and sore ribs (something about sitting in a car that long that just makes you achy). We got to Keller, TX around noon and spent the day just relaxing and hanging out. Heather and I went to Costco, which was actually pretty fun although I must tease her just a bit, I felt like the Duggers, we both had carts that were filled!!! Sunday was a church day, so we spent most of that relaxing too, although their ward starts the time ours usually gets out, so Lilly wasn't able to make it through all of it, she barely survived sacrament (well we barely survived :-) )
Lilly and Landon (who are just 2 months apart) watching the big kids play outside after they decided they were done for the day.
After a long day of playing hard Lilly needed some chill time
Lilly stayed so busy the entire trip trying to keep up with her cousins! We barely saw her all week, it wasn't until Wednesday when we think she realized how little she had seen us. But Ziff and I weren't complaining she had SO much fun and was worn out pretty much every nap and every bedtime. When she would wake up in the morning she would start and go go go till Ziff or I said it was time for a rest.
Lilly is such a great sport for how long she had to sit in her seat, and even till the end she was trying to be our entertainment.
