Lots of things were happening that led Cooper, Lola and I on our latest roadtrip(s). First of all, Dad is out of town, (actually the country, Canada and Paris). Second, we had a couples shower to attend for Aunt Alli and Uncle Rusty and Baby Souders is the due the first week of July. Third, with a baby due in August, this was the last adventure we will get before being glued to Texas waiting on Baby J's arrival. Finally, we were anxious to see all our family again! All good reasons to pack up the car, 2 year old, your dog, and very pregnant belly to drive over a thousand miles, right?
Last Thursday we left our house at 7:20 and arrived at Mamaw and Papaw's in Wash, MO exactly 12 hours later. Sounds awful, but really wasn't that bad. We stopped just 3 times, I was afraid with my pregnant bladder it would be much more frequent than that!
This kid was sooo good, despite only sleeping for 1 of the 12 hours! He read lots of books, played with his trucks, kept an eye out for construction workers/tractors and watched a couple movies.
We stopped at Jimmy Johns for a quick dinner. So, Cooper rarely will eat a sandwich, but I couldn't do McDonalds again. However, there happened to be a college boy next to us eating a sandwich, when Coop spotted him eating, it was on. As soon as I unwrapped the sandwich, he grabbed half and said, "I do it Mommy." And so he did. Of course it made our pit stop a bit longer, but he was very adament about eating like the boy next to us!
We couldn't be more excited to pull in the driveway at Mamaw and Papaws, we had a great long weekend...blog posts to come!
We are at Grandma and Grandpa's now...just hanging out, waiting on the newest grandkid to make his/her appearance!
