Our trip to Atlanta

What an adventure. Our family piled into our Escape (too small with 2 car seats, luggage, and a dog!....I think it might have convinced me and Jonny of the value of a minivan) for a 10 hr + drive down to Atlanta to visit Annika and her kids. The girls did great (we broke it up into 2 days each way) but I am a true believer in a DVD player for car trips. Emmie, Hayden and Maeve had so much fun playing together; I wish we lived closer. Even our dogs, Svea and Finn, got along great. Too bad Finn, in his typical fashion, couldn't be left alone without being destructive. But that's another story.

-One of Maeve's favorite activites at Annika's.....playing in the minivan

- daddy and Kaleigh getting in a quick nap (poor Jonny had to travel to Dallas and back while we were there)

- Maeve in the packed car with an Elmo video to entertain her (Jonny was ready to burn the DVD of Elmo....one can only take some much of la la la la....Elmo's world)

-Playing in the backyard; Hayden found a snail, which intrigued everyone. It was a nice break from the girls fighting over the swing. We had lots of screaming over that activity.




-Kaleigh content in one of her favorite places....the baby bjorn

-Emmie and Maeve in pigtails.....so cute (although Maeve's stayed in for approximately 30 sec.)
