Weekend Road Trip

What a whirlwind weekend! We decided that we needed to make a trip to Blackfoot since it has been a year and Grandma and Grandpa hadn't seen Owen yet.

We left around 4pm on Friday and didn't make it to Blackfoot until 9pm. It is so different traveling with a potty trained little girl and a nursing baby too. We had to make a few stops for dinner and potty breaks. Luckily we made it there with no accidents! Yeah! Once we got there it ended up being a late night. I think that it was about 11:30 when we all climbed into bed (including Bailee).

Saturday morning we went into town and took the kids to the Keslers to show them off to all of Mom's friends at work. Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Hansen's house to visit. We got lucky and Jamie and Jaden happened to be there. That was such a treat since we hadn't seen Jaden yet either. Bailee had so much fun playing with her younger cousin. It was so nice to get to visit with Grandma and Grandpa. We didn't get to say as long as we would have liked, there is just never enough time to fit everything in. We then had to take the kids back to Mom and Dad's for lunch and naps. While Bailee was settling down for a nap Matt, Owen and I headed to Poccatello to visit with some friends Jeff and Amy. We had a nice visit with them too. Later that evening we went out to dinner with Mom, Dad, Steph, Kelly and the kids at PBG's. It was fun to try a new restaurant and the food was great.

Sunday morning we took our time getting ready to go and were able to visit with Julie, a family friend. By 1:30pm we were on the road again. Both of the kids fell asleep so we were able to drive a lot further before a stop. We finally stopped for a potty break and to feed Owen. Things were going great until that point. Matt decided to run down the road the Ranger Station to get some local maps, but Bailee wanted to stay with me in the car. She was having fun playing in the driver's seat while I fed Owen. (dun dun dun) That is when it all happened. She suddenly realized as most 2 yr olds do that she need to go poo. What am I going to do?!!!! I am feeding Owen and Matt is no were in sight! There was no time for me to fix myself up and get both kids out of the car and through the grocery store to the bathroom. So... I had to let her go in her pants. Meanwhile, Owen did too. Matt had quite the surprise when he got back. Matt chose to clean up Bailee while I cleaned up Owen. I got lucky because Owen happened not to blowout. After cleaning up both kids and a snack we were back on the road. Unfortunately Bailee has inherited my gene for car sickness and ended up getting sick about 15 minutes down the road. So we had another stop to clean up the car seat and Bailee. Matt has a weak stomach, so the majority of the cleaning went to me. What an adventure we had on the way home. I am so glad to be back home with both kids back on schedule. Matt, Bailee, Grandma, Owen, Grandpa, and Tami
