Road Trip . . . Part 2

After all of the festivities on Saturday, plus losing an hour on Sunday morning to the time change, we were all feeling a little spent, but we packed up the car and managed to get on the road by 9:45 to Lake San Marcos where my Grandparents Ken and Norma live. They have a beautiful home on the Lake and the weather was absolutely perfect. They have an enclosed "yacht" that we scooted around the lake on. Reed loved it, especially when he got to drive the boat with Great Papa Ken. Looking at the pictures of Great Grandma Norma (aka "Blingy") and Reed together make me laugh, they just look like they are ready for trouble!!!

 

After our boat ride, Reed took a nap, and the four of us ate lunch and caught up for a few hours. Once the Little Man woke up it was time to pack up and hit the road again. Having a well rested toddler and a five hour drive ahead of you is a recipe for disaster, luckily my friend Sarah lives right on our way home and her two year old daughter Alyson is always up for a play date. We were able to spend about an hour and a half with Sarah and Dan chatting and enjoying their back yard while the Rugrats wore each other out. Before we left we tried to get a picture of us girls holding the other one's child, but the kids weren't too sure about that and we didn't get the great group shot I had hoped for.

Once we got back in the car Reed was a bit cranky for the next hour and half - the solution was me signing "The Wheels on the Bus" over and over again at his request ("More Bus") until we found a place to stop for dinner. Once we were all fed, Reed slept the rest of the way home. All in all it was a great weekend and we couldn't have asked Reed for better behavior.
