Andrew's 1st Visit to Bumpa and Mema's...

Andrew has very quickly learned that he would rather feed himself than have me feed him....
here's what it looks like!

Our first visit went very well.  Auntie Erica traveled to MN with us for our first airplane ride (Rick had to stay home to work).  We took the early flight out so we arrived by 10:30AM, layover and all.  I do have to say that by the time we landed, this Mama was pretty done and so was Erica.  But it was well worth it.  We had a great time visiting, going to the park, playing with the daycare kids, and the best part of course... the ZOO!  This was Grace's first trip to the Zoo and she had a blast.  She is still asking me if we can go on the airplane and go to the Zoo again.  This was the first time Grace didn't sleep in the room with me while we were away.  She slept on her own special bed in Bumpa and Mema's room.  They got to enjoy the delightful sleeping habits of my daughter.  And true to form, Andrew didn't sleep much either.  I don't know why my kids don't like to sleep????  After an all too short visit we headed back home, alone this time.  The kids did awesome.  I guess I knew better what worked and what didn't.  We are official travelers now!
Grace was all ready to go to the zoo.  She stood out in the garage asking if it was time to go for about an hour.  People were still sleeping when she was all dressed and ready to head out! 
Thanks for a fun trip Bumpa and Mema!  See you soon!
