quick 1600 mile drive this weekend...

We made an unplanned/ quick trip to Missouri this past weekend.  We left Friday night at 7:30 drove till 3:30 and slept in Little Rock... headed out the next morning and got to Union, Missouri around 5:00.

We had a wonderful time visiting with Sarah, Robbie and the kids- although Robbie had to work most of the time....



This is the Emily Jean GIRL---- 4 years old.



This is the Ethan Drake BOY--- just turned two!





It was just Dave and myself for the trip so we had HOURS in the car to ourselves... it was nice.

We haven't been away for that many days in a really, really long time and we enjoyed it.... even as spontaneous as it was...


Dave and I stayed at their place and Emily Jean had to sleep with her GANDMA.... good times.

Sarah and I cut Ethan's hair (see the first pics and then later pics), it wasn't the best job as he was screaming and wiggling ALOT but hey it got cut!

Emily and GANDPA worked on getting us REDBOX and ice cream and had to go shopping for batteries for her computer-- THAT is what GANDPA's are for, right!

Sarah and I went to the grocery store on Sunday night and bought up supplies and got her 8 freezer meals ready.... in  record time.  So she has at least 8 easy meals plus their leftovers for the next couple of weeks! 



We left Missouri Monday at 1:30 and ended up driving straight through and getting home at 4:30 on Tuesday morning--- we were exhausted!

Now to pack and ready stuff for four days of camping at Garner....

Whewww... I am gonna need some vacation from my vacations!  :0)

Ok I think many readers might be confused about the Gandma and Gandpa thing...just sayin'.
And did you happen by the Parker House of non-stop fun while in little rock?

Ha... readers should know that Emily and NOW Ethan call us "GAND" ma Carrie and "gand" pa Dave...

and I LOVE it!

No Parker House non- stop fun.. although at three in the morning when I was searching for a hotel I REALLY thought about calling her to crash! :0)
