Summer Vacation!

We embarked on our annual summer road trip this week.  It's 3200 miles roundtrip across 7 states and one foreign country and includes stops to visit both sets of grandparents.  We were a little worried about how LB would do in the car for so long, but he did great.  We sang a lot of songs and read a lot of books together.  He also spent a fair amount of time snoozing in his car seat or looking out the window and waving at the corn and the cows.   Here are some trip highlights...

 

Playing on the beach in Canada...   

 Fishing with his uncle...

 

Trying to convinces someone, anyone, in the ice cream shop to give him a gumball (no one did)...

 

Enjoying his first ketchup flavored potato chips (a Canadian favorite)... 

 

Devouring his first ear of corn on the cob (he ate nearly an entire ear all by himself)...

Squirting Mommy with water toys... 



 

Although it was a wonderful vacation, we are happy to be home sweet home again.  We enjoyed lovely weather and some really special time with our families where the kids made some great memories, but driving cross country with two kids under the age of three is still a pretty big production.
