Globe and family reunion

This weekend was the Miller family reunion. It was at a camp ground that was between Young and Globe. It was special because though Jake and his siblings are all Millers they are not that close to the Miller side of the family. The explanation is length but suffice it to say it was lovely to have them reconnect and meet all of his relatives.
Our children do not to over-nights. Since Brody has been out of a crib in the past two years we have probably only been out of a crib a few nights and that is including this past Saturday night. Ryan has only been overnight somewhere other than his crib 2 nights and that was when he was 4 months old and at that age babies sleep good almost anywhere.
Lets just say my kids sleep better at home!

I didn't want to stress about everything cause well I figured it wouldn't be a fun night. Brody did better than expected but Ryan had a hellish time....okay he was fine, he was happy to be awake from 1 am to 4 am...it was Jake and I that suffered.

We stopped at a Travel Lodge in Globe and then went onto a campsite on Saturday and then came back and stayed Saturday night.
It was an interesting time just cause we NEVER go out of town and though Globe isn't exciting plus it is only about an hour or so away from our house it was strange to stay in a hotel. Brody was able to cope with the change by a portable DVD player and his Buzz Lightyear tent. Then after buying a huge ball for Ryan at Walmart for $2.50 he was having a really fun time throwing it around the hotel room.

I didn't get a picture at the family reunion because it was to chaotic with the boys running everywhere to even snap a picture but I got some in the hotel room and a couple views from our hotel room. The boys would get mad when Jake would leave the room to load and unload the car but then I would have them look out the window at him and then they would smile and giggle.

I know it is lame that we don't go anywhere but after this little trip Jake and I realized that there are lots of things we want to do once our kids are just a little older and traveling is one of them.

P.S. Hopefully this is our last trip in a little car (again, not that we go anywhere). We are eager to have a car that can better fit our family!!
