So right after returning from Utah, we did some laundry and packed up again to take a trip with Grandma and Papa to MISSOURI! Very spontaneous, not what I'm used to, but I figured it was summer so it would be ok. Plus knowing that our days would be filled with cousins, waterparks, and Silver Dollar City, kept me excited.
I worried about the long drive and how the kids would be in the car. Thankfully, they were awesome with only minimal fighting. Much better than expected. Endless supplies of snacks and DVDs plus the occasional "wild card" surprise made it all good. The kids loved finding a sign welcoming us to a new state. Dillan looked at a map to see how far we'd come and where we were heading.
There was lots and lots of swimming because it was so stinking HOT! Nothing's better than swimming with cousins! Grandma and Papa mad it lots of fun by taking us to Silver Dollar City and White Water! We had fun going on rides and getting wet!
On Independence Day, Dillan got to light his first firework. He thought it was the best thing ever! Leah wasn't a big fan of the noise, so she stayed as far away as possible.
We got to cuddle baby Gwennie! When she cried, Drewby would walk over to her and wave and then tried to hug and kiss her. She's just so little!
We normally don't see our cousins this much and we are so excited that we will see them again in just a couple short weeks! Yee Haw!
Dillan said he had never had a summer like this before.
He also said all we'd done so far this summer was swimming and driving!
