in a camry?
The realization that said camry is no longer suitable for 14 hour drives.
Cole was showing his displeasure for his seat arrangements for the drive by sitting in Landon's lap.
He did move and slept in the floor of the car, disgruntled only, I'd say, half the time.
The drive went the best it ever has, surprisingly. You wouldn't think you could make record time on a 14 hour drive with a 2 month old in tow, but somehow we managed.
The first few days were spent at my parents house.
One day we toured the fire station where my brother in law is a fireman.
My niece, Emma, was tour guide.
Landon got to go on a four wheeler ride with my Dad.
Here is Landon modeling his riding outfit.
He calls this look Blue Steel.
We visited with family
and took naps on Pap
Then we switched to Craig's parents house
full of tractor rides

-our horror when Ollie puked in the car. twice.
(The first time ironically was in rush hour traffic while Craig was talking on the phone to his college roommate. His roommate had called to tell us his wife was pregnant with their first child.
Welcome to Parenthood!)
