Reese and I just got back from visiting my folks for a few days. In the past this child has been just miserable on road trips, which means everyone in the car is also miserable! However this time she did SO much better and I was so happy. We did a lot of singing, listening to Radio Disney and she did quite a bit of reading...
This girl loves "Fancy Nancy"..she looks at these books over and over again and we read them OVER and OVER and OVER again. Too bad Bob and I are a little sick of them:)
When we got to Nannie and Poppy's we had dinner and played outside. Look at this super cute little bench that my mom found for Reese. I just love it and so does Reese. Excuse the filthy child..this Popsicle was the only thing that stood between bath and bedtime.
The next day Reese and I had a play date with some very special friends Maggie and Elizabeth. Elizabeth and her husband Seth used to work and were good friends with Bob before I even knew Bob. After we moved to Texas, Elizabeth and I "bumped" into each other on Babycenter and realized we were both pregnant with girls due on the same day. We became fast friends through email, blogs, etc and we chatted often. Our girls were born less then 24 hours from each other and we have compared notes every step of the way. So this was such a super special play date because it was the first time all four of us had actual met in person..weird huh!:)
Maggie and Reese had a a blast and were both super busy!
We played for awhile at there house and then walked a few houses down to her mom's house. Apparently back in his single days poor Bob was like a stray puppy and Elizabeth and her sweet momma used to feed him all the time so her mom wanted to meet Reese and I as well. They have a beautiful backyard and all these fun outdoor toys..Reese was in heaven.
Look at these two precious little girls!!
You just can't go wrong with fudge bars and swimming pools. I will say that although I LOVE our pool it was really nice to be able to let the girls just run around and play in the water without having to follow them around constantly and worry. Elizabeth, her mom and I had the best time visiting while the kids played. We had so much fun and our goal is to get the girls together again before kindergarden.
Yesterday we stayed in our PJ's until lunch time and just played all morning with Nannie and Poppy. Reese adores them and I just love to watch them play. We had lunch and then headed home during nap time so she could sleep in the car.
One of the best things about going on a trip is coming home...we missed Daddy are are happy to be home.
