Kiddos Overnight at the Farm

As Chris and I celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary, the kids spent time with Grandpa Bill and Grandma Bet on the farm. As they loaded up in their car, Asher appeared to not have a clue what was going on. We were really rushed, too, quickly saying our good-byes.

They first went to Mamas Pizza for dinner. Grandma and Grandpa reported that they all did fine. Then they went to the farm, playing with all their toys in and outside. Addison slept in Grandma's crib, Alivia slept in the bed in the same room with Addison, and Asher slept in the pack n play across the hall from the girls. Asher went right to sleep. However, Alivia and Addison saw bugs on the dresser, spider hanging from the light (there is a pull string for the light and they thought it was a spider web!), it was not light enough, etc. I bet Grandma and Grandpa had fun with all of their drama. Eventually, by 10 PM, all the kids were finally asleep.

The fun continued on the farm today. Asher took a 3 hour nap in the fresh farm air before coming home about 5. Oh, they had to stop for ice cream first, though! Now, here is the kicker. Grandma and Grandpa got into their car to go home and Asher wanted in. He gives Grandpa Bill and hug, crying, pointing to the back seat where his seat once was. He was so upset as they drove off. I don't know, but I think Asher liked staying with Grandma Bet and Grandpa Bill on the Farm...and so did the girls!

Although Chris and I did miss the kids, it was nice to be able to spend some special time alone, talking, walking, eating, napping, and having plenty of moments of silence. After a while, you forget what it is like to do those things without interruption.Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for taking our Austin 3 for 24 hours!
