4th of July

This past weekend we went up to Iowa for our annual 4^th of July trip.  We had a wonderful time as always!  The boys and I headed up on Friday night so they could rest a little on Saturday before fireworks.  Then on Saturday morning Justin came up with my mom because he had to work Friday night.  Saturday was the festivities in Dixon and we got to see tons of family and very old friends.  It is such a great chance to see everyone.  We had a lot of great company and the boys had a blast.  They just love playing with other kids and our cousins.  The boys were both up WAY past their bedtimes so on Sunday we all took a nap because we were so tired!   We then headed to my friends house and saw some old friends and the kids got to play together.  On Monday we went and saw my dad and he was pretty surprised at how much Easton had changed since he saw him last back in February.   Then we headed back to Kansas!  The weekend was great and we had wonderful weather the entire time.  There was a ton of traffic and construction though, so the drives were a bit longer then usual.  We did learn however that Easton is NOT a fan of traveling!  He did okay, but you could tell he was just miserable being confined to his car seat.  Part of it is just his age, (I remember this stage a bit with Payton), part of it is his personality and part of it is due to the fact that we don’t travel as much as we did when Payton was little.  It is a good thing we have no trips planned for a while, because I think Easton needs a break from the car!

 

Also, Easton decided this weekend at the hotel that he can walk across rooms! He prefers to crawl if he is in a hurry, or excited, or frustrated.  But, other then that he likes to walk now!
