over the river and through the woods....


Last week the boys and I took a road trip to Ohio to spend some time with my family!  And on our way we made a stop in Pittsburgh to spend some time with a sweet friend.  I'm so happy to report that the boys did very well on the trip.  I hesitate to say that it was easy....but I can definitely say it's the smoothest trip that we've had.  It's so great to see glimpses of the benefits that come with having older children ....  things like the ability to hold their bladder, actually enjoying the privilege of watching a movie in the car, the ability to hold their sticker books and apply stickers all at the same time, finally having long enough arms to reach the cup holder in the center of the back seat, and most importantly understanding that the wonderfulness of being at grandma and grandpa's house is SO worth those 9 hours in the car!! :)  Thanks mom and dad for a wonderful time together.  Here are the highlights...


 
Fun at the Children's Museum in Pittsburgh.....seriously one of the coolest kids places we have ever been to!  Thanks Sara!!
 

 
Horse drawn wagon ride through Rolling Ridge Ranch.....feeding the animals as we rode.

Carousel ride at a park that I loved when I was their age.....still love it :) 
A snow cone.  Just for Chase.  Oh the pride this brings to a 2 year old :)
