Road Trip

I wanted to post a quick blog to share all the fun we've had the past few days.  Nate knew he was going to be gone all week in the field, so the kids and I decided to take a road trip to Kentucky.  So Monday at 3:45 am we hit the road for the 13.5 hour drive.  I needed to know if I could survive the drive with any kind of sanity so when Nate's deployed it's always an option.  Well, we survived and the drive went AMAZING.  The scenery was incredible.

And the kids were wonderful.  Between books, toys, snacks, and the dvd player, they were fantastic. 

The funny thing was, Gunner really had no idea what was going on, so his face was priceless when he realized we were at Grandma and Grandpa's house. 

Gunner and Grace are also loving the fact that their cousins Natalie and Haley are here visiting too.  So they've had two more people to dote on them. 

It has been super hot, but the kids don't mind too much because they have the pool to cool off in.  

Gunner has also enjoyed getting to hang with the bigger kids, including enjoying ice cream together.

And playing on the big kid stuff at the park.  

Yesterday we ventured to the museum in Clarksville and the kids had a ball!!  They had so many cute things there.  Gunner was in his glory with the model trains and train table.  He didn't want to leave. 

Grace enjoyed herself as well. 

The coolest part was the "Bubble Cave" where you put yourself inside a bubble. 

All the excitement tuckered out Miss Grace. 



We have had so much fun the past few days in Kentucky.  I'm sure I'll have much more to blog about as the days go on.  This weekend I'm actually flying back to North Carolina to enjoy a kid-free weekend with Nate.  I'm nervous to leave the kids, but I'm sure they won't mind with all the fun going on at Grandma and Grandpa's.  :)
