We left Sunday mid morning for the grueling journey south...our goal for day one was to make it to Sacramento without any casualties...well...we made it...at least in one piece! Thankfully both girls were tired and zonked with a little assistance from the lulling motion of the car!
After many "Are we there yet"s... "That's mine, give it back"... "Leave Carter's binki in her mouth"etc, etc, etc...we finally broke down and turned a movie on for the kids...thankfully cousin Abrianna didn't leave her "microphones" on very long which gave Carter a chance to tune in to the action...she loved having the headphones on and was enthralled with the movie...she really wasn't a miss fuss on the drive, but lets face it, adults get bored, little kids get bored...I'm sure little babies get bored sitting in the car for hours on end...the movie was a nice perk...for the adults too!
How enjoyable that it was the boys turn to be up front when the movie began...craftiness or convenience...we'll never tell!!!
We made it to Sacramento at about 11pm, and fell into bed at my brother in laws sister's house, we're so thankful for their hospitality... after many potty breaks, a few melt downs, a roadside bathroom emergency, and endless moments of a three year old breaking out in song...we welcomed the blessed reprieve! All in all the children did well, it was just the usual necessary chaos that all must endure on long....long...road trips! Thanks Brook and Randall for taking us along...!
