Quick Trip to Charlotte

Since Ryan and Hailey didn't get to go to Charlotte just before Easter, we made a trip there over the weekend. We left Friday morning and went to Ryan's parent's house. Hailey was SOOOO excited to see her Mimi. Ryan and I drove separately because we were leaving the truck in Charlotte to be sold, and Hailey and Ryan arrived first, so she had a few uninterrupted minutes with Mimi. In fact, when Reece and I arrived Hailey wasn't too happy to have to share Mimi. She was glad when I went to feed him and wouldn't even let Ryan come out on the patio to play with her and Mimi.
We actually left both kids at their house and ran the truck down to my parents then we got to have a lunch date! It was so nice to just sit and talk without being exhausted at the end of a day or interrupted by a million other things. Thank you Mimi!
That afternoon we went to visit PawPaw (Ryan's grandfather). Hailey has been really into puzzles lately and I told her that PawPaw loves puzzles so she insisted that we bring her pony puzzle for them to do together. It was so sweet!

That night Rebecca (Ryan's sister) came over for dinner and she and Hailey had the best time! They played play-doh, ate dinner together and then disappeared into the back of the house and all I know is I heard lots of laughing and talking. Then Rebecca ran home to get her dog so Hailey could play with him. She got to stay up late outside with Mimi and Rebecca which made her day.

Saturday morning we ate breakfast and then went to my parent's house for the day. It was Julie's birthday so she and Trey brought the boys over to play and hang out. Let me tell you, those three had the BEST time together. It took them a little while to warm up and all figure out how to play together but once they did it was hilarious!

 Grams and Das have these storage ottomans in the living room and they decided they were going to ride in them. This is something that my dad has done with them several times but this time Tucker pushed.

 They are a mess!

Hailey also had some book reading time with Das.

Hailey was not ready to go when we had to leave. Seeing them all play together makes me excited for them growing up and getting to do it more often. It was be really crazy when Reece and baby Cheeley get in on the action too! Get ready Grams!

After singing Happy Birthday to Julie and eating some cake, it was time to head home. It was a quick trip but such a fun one! Can't wait to do it again soon!
