Fun in Charlotte

This past weekend the kids and I went to Charlotte. Ryan was on a leadership retreat and we decided that with how Reece has been not sleeping and the vast amounts of screaming he's been doing, that it was better if the kids and I didn't go with him. So we went to Charlotte instead!
Reece did SO well in the car on the way there. I was expecting 2 solid hours of screaming but the Lord was so gracious and he slept for an hour and a half! That never happens! He did cry the last 20 minutes or so because Hailey threw Hippie into the back of the car and she started crying, so he had to go along with it and cry too. ;)
We went to Mimi's house first! We asked Hailey what she wanted to do with Mimi and she said throw a Frisbee to Beau and have a tea party. She got to do both...

Plus Mimi had gotten some of Daddy's old Ninja Turtles and cars out of the attic for her to play with.

Little man enjoyed showing off his sitting and crawling skills.

Friday afternoon we went to Grams and Das'. Of course Hailey wanted to swim as soon as we got there! The water was a little chilly from the cool nights so she didn't last long but she enjoyed it! And we blew up the baby pool for Reece. I promise he had more fun than he looks like here.

Hailey got pampered by Grams that night

On Saturday Julie and the boys came over to play...and I didn't take any pictures because it was wild! They had SO much fun and as they were leaving Hailey said "I miss Tucker and Mack". She loves playing with her cousins.
The kids and I came home that afternoon. Reece only slept for 30 minutes (boo) and then screamed for the last 2 hours. Needless to say, we were all so excited when we pulled in the driveway!
We all slept well that night and got up bright and early to go to church on Sunday. It was a little more difficult getting everyone ready from start to finish by myself (normally Ryan is home long enough for me to get a shower before he leaves for church) but we did it! He came home Sunday afternoon and we were so glad!

I love that we have family close enough for a quick weekend trip!
