Weekend

Well, it's officially been a traveling... long weekend!!!

Saturday:
That morning we got up and at em... packing up.  Our old neighbors were having a little birthday party for their boy... so we went to the park and celebrated with them for about an hour.   It was nice.   Then we were on the road. 
We headed down to Kansas City/Parkville for Ryan's cousin, Matt, high school graduation party.  They were having a small gathering for friends and family.  It was a beautiful, hot day down south...  the kids played in the hot sun for a couple hours.    The sun and just being in the car for such a long time, made us all tired quickly.  Kayson was begging to leave after about 3 hours.  He just can't hang.  ha.  

We got back in the car...  kids were asleep within minutes of being on the road, and we headed to Creston.  We just didn't want to get a hotel room... waste the money, and we never sleep well in a hotel, so we made the trip to Ryan's folks.  The kids slept about an hour of the almost 3 hour trip.  We didn't have supper, so we fed them 'junk' as we stopped about half way through.  We made it to Creston in good time... and pretty much got baths/showers taken and had some quiet time.  

Sunday:
Woke in Creston... after a good nights sleep for all, I think.  The kids got to bed late, but they slept til about 7:30, so not too bad.  We just hung out this morning... playing outside for the most part.  It was another beautiful day.  We had lunch, then got cleaned up to attend Jenna's graduation commencement.  Ryan is her god parent, so we felt we needed to be there for the commencement.  It was very nice, and Jenna is an amazing student!!  So proud of her.  Cora couldn't last the hour in the hot gym, so her and I wandered around the open area of the school for about 30 minutes.  It was much cooler out there too!  ha.  

We said our 'congratulations' to Jenna, got a pic... and we were on our way home.  Another snooze for Cora...  home around 5:20.  And then our Sunday duties needed done - groceries, laundry, and getting the kids to bed at a decent time.  They were both pretty owly, and picking on each other.  That's the sure sign that they are tired!!

With all the traveling, they did pretty good... seems to be they have gotten better in the car.  I know I'm wiped out tho.  I know they are too.   More traveling next weekend AND the next.  

Here are some great pics of the weekend. 

These two rascals.  Busy girls.
