ROAD TRIP!!!

we took a spur of the moment road trip with jamie, gianna and kenadee to south carolina!!! it was the longest that my kids have ever been in the car. i was dreading the ride a bit, but they all did amazing!!! 

all ready to go! 

we stopped at a hotel around 4am to get a few good hours of sleep! it wasn't the best sleep with malloy moaning and whining because she didn't have her own space. rex, on the other hand, passed right out! 

being silly 

and then he cracked his head open on the ottoman in the room - yuck and ouch! 

we made it!!! the kids love myra and all of her toys!! 

a POOL! 

bath, then movie and popcorn before bed

playing in nini's hotel jacuzzi

jumping on the bed! 

swimming! 

 we decided that we should definitely go to myrtle beach while we were so close! such a fun day!!!

 auntie set up a salon so she and nini could do the kids' nails and hair. they drank juice out of fancy cups with umbrellas in them and got pampered. rex was all about it! malloy had a bit of trouble because she thought that she was going to do everyone's nails and hair. she insisted on doing her own nails and then she painted mine.

my gorgeous pedicure

 back on the road heading home!!!!!! we had a great time and were sad to head home but excited to see daddy!!! the drive seemed to take forever!!!  we stopped at a hotel, swam, watched a show and had some popcorn at 11pm and then went to bed! we dragged the kids out of bed to get back in the van. we made a pit stop at grandma val and grandpa don's for lunch, treats, and running around. we stopped at nini's for a potty break and made it home by 8!!! phew!

looked back and saw this <3

burger king play place! 2nd one of the day! 

malloy sobbed for a long time after gianna and kenadee dropped us off because she missed them already!!!!
