Road Trip to Wash, MO

We were in our house for just a couple weeks when we packed up and headed to Wash, MO.  We went back for a few reasons…we celebrated Papaw, Kellen and Brynn's birthdays, GiGi Hillermann hadn't met Piper yet (the lady behind the Marie in Piper's name!), either had the McCormacks, and Adam had some work to do there as well.

 We went out to dinner to celebrate Papaw's birthday.  The boys did some late night celebrating with him and paid for it the next day ;).

 Sweet Emily adores Piper…until she pukes or poops ;).

 While all the little kids napped, I snuck Emily away for pedicures!

 She was bored so Adam led her thru bootcamp.

 Oh these two!  When they disappear, we know it's trouble!

 Love this collage from Brynn's birthday party and cake eating :).  Thanks Maggie.

 These 2 boys play pretend for hours upon hours.  They can't stand to be separated when we are visiting.

 Brynn had lots of help opening her gifts.

 Totally in control.

 Cooper trying to wave them down for a ride ;).

 The boys caught a ride!

Four generations - same pic here with Laney.  The girls are even wearing the same bow!

We were around on Monday since Adam had to work.  Maggie took the day off of work and the weather was beautiful so we decided to hit up the zoo!  The day didn't go as exactly as planned.

 Besides needing to eat, Piper was such a good baby!

 We didn't see many animals before the kids started melting down but the gorillas were quite entertaining!

 These 2 big boys walked and after about an hour, they were over it.  All their weekend fun had caught up with them.  See the sweet girls in the double stroller ;).

 Meltdowns in full effect.  Everyone was tired and hungry…despite having snacks 20 minutes before.

 Thought she was going to fall asleep in the stroller.

 Sad Hadley.

And then to top off the visit…Laney had to pee right when we got to the car.  Of course.  I knew she was capable of squatting, her Dad taught her ;).  Well, she was in her skinny jeans and the minute I pulled them down, the girl just started peeing.  I didn't know what to do-so I let her go.  And she peed about a gallon.  Thankfully Maggie had a diaper and pajama pants of Hadley for her to slip into for the hour drive home.  

A stop at Steak'n'Shake and back to Mamaw and Papaws for naps.  That evening we headed back home to OP.
