Mommy & Me

Mommy & Marie packed up and left the boys for the weekend. Dad & Char were busy with school and chasing rabbits, so the girls decided to head back to N'West Iowa for a visit. Marie traveled like a pro. She slept for the first 2 hours and played for the last hour of our drive.

Our first stop was Spencer with Grandpa & Grandma. We played, ate, and played some more. Marie was very excited to see them both. Grandma & I took some time together on Saturday while Marie & Grandpa had their special time together.
I don't know who was more worn out -
Marie or Grandpa?

Next we were off to Sheldon to see Gramma. We played with cousins, Sadie, the water bowl, and had a birthday party for Abby on Sunday. Marie loved swinging with Abby & Alissa on their swing set.
On Monday, I took the day off for our trip home. Marie slept the first 1 1/2 hours and decided to awake for the rest of the trip. I was a little nervous, but after a pit stop for a Casey's donut, Marie was much more content for the rest of the trip. We sang, told stories, and Marie dozed for the last 30 minutes.
Charlie was so happy to greet us at the door. He really missed his girls....oh, and Daddy too. Dad came home at 1:00 to spend the afternoon with us. We took naps, planted more flowers, and went for a nice spring walk.It was a great getaway for the girls, but it's always good to come back home.
