Memorial Day Weekend Day 1

Mike had to work this Memorial Day weekend so the girls and I drove with some friends up to Cimarron to their family's cabin. The drive up was over 6 hours but it went surprisingly well.

Here is Lissie having a funny moment. Abby cracked up when she saw Lissie with her finger in her nose.

Both girls were really well behaved in the car. They looked at the white water rafters, the trains (there were lots), and listened to some new CDs we borrowed from Miss Karen. Abby was thrilled to be going to the mountains and a "new" house. Of course, on the way up she declared, "We're in the wrong mountains! We need to go to the SNOW mountains!!!"

Once we finally arrived the kids were wired. They ran all over the place and, of course, none of them wanted to take naps. My solution...put on the My Gym DVD I brought with. The kids loved it and started out exercising but ended up on the couch. It did keep them busy enough for us to get dinner going.

After spaghetti, all of the little ones needed a bath. Don't they look adorable all in the tub together? I think the bath might have been the highlight for Lissie. She LOVES to take baths.

The real drama happened at bed time. To sum up a traumatic night I'll just say Abby threw up, Lissie changed beds twice and at around 4 AM, Mommy ended up on the floor!!!
