Road Trip

This weekend we took a trip to Beaumont. What would normally be a six hour drive turned into almost nine hours lol. On the way there both kids slept because we didn't leave until about 8:30. It was a nice and over all quiet trip. We stopped to get shakes at about 2:30 that morning and as we were going through the drive thru Kenzie woke up. She ended up staying awake from than until almost 6 that morning! We got there about five and all completely crashed around six. Cash woke up twice wanting to eat between than and ten thirty when we got up. I was one very tired mommy that day having only had 4 hours of sleep! We took the kids to the heritage festival that evening and they had so much fun. Kenzie rode every toddler ride and cried because she couldn't ride the bigger ones. She ate popcorn, cotton candy, and let me tell you that little sleep and lots of sugar are NOT a very good mix for a two year old!! She had a million melt downs that night. There were other contributing factors to her fits that night, such as her lack of patience to wait for rides and her age. Regardless of how she acted she had a blast and so did we. There was a petting zoo there that she absolutely loved! It had goats, lambs, donkeys, rabbits, ducks, chickens, llamas, pigs, and a baby kangaroo! We stayed there for quite awhile while she went around to each animal giving them each some food. Cash did great the whole time we were there. He sat happily in his sling bundled up. After being there for four hours we were exhausted and my back was definately feeling the effects of carrying cash around for all that time! Both kids slept in today until 11:45 which just showed how tired they both were. I was very thankful for the extra sleep, and it was very much needed! Today we left about 5:15 and the car ride has not been so quiet lol. Poor cash hates his car seat and just wants to be out of it. We still have over three hours to go and I'm hoping after he eats he'll sleep the rest of the way. This weekend was a nice get a way but I'm very happy to be coming home :)
