We had such a great trip this weekend. We went up to Sandpoint, Idaho to visit aunt Chelsea and Uncle Rick. We stayed in their new house and did a ton of fun things. You guys were all very well behaved. The boys even continued to try their hardest at using the potty while we were there. Daddy and I got a bit stressed out and took it out on each other because taking three kids under three on such a long road trip is a bit stressful no matter how you swing it, but we were always able to remember why we were getting edgy and pull it together and the weekend couldn't have been better!
It started with Daddy driving you three up to Spokane to pick Mommy up from school. I had to go to a class so I drove up a few hours earlier than you with a friend. Daddy said you slept most of the way. You picked me up at Chili's. After a quick dinner we got on the road to head to Aunt Chelsea's.
When we got to Aunt Chelsea's we realized she had a kitty. Hunter saw the kitty dash across Chelsea's bedroom floor and into the bathroom. Chelsea's room was dark, so in his defense it probably would have taken anyone off guard, but Hunter lost it. He just started screaming like a crazy child. We had to pick him up and after lots of talking and coaxing we finally got all of you to at least look at the cat. The boys didn't get any closer than they had to.
Kaylee wasn't scared of the kitty or the three large dogs! She loved all the animals and wanted to give them hugs all the time!
You all were very tired that first night, so we ended up going to bed early. Daddy and I went to bed with you so you wouldn't be scared in a new big house. You thought it was pretty neat that we were sleeping at Aunt Chelsea's!
Aunt Chelsea and Uncle Rick built their house this last year. They did a lot of the work on it themselves. One of the unique parts of their house is that the floor is heated concrete! I loved it, although I did not love the crazy stairs with the heated concrete on the bottom. I was so worried you kids were going to roll all the way down the stairs and hit their head on the concrete. You never did. In fact, you were very good at going up and down stairs carefully.
On our first day we went to build snowmen! It was pretty fun.The boys were very excited to put on their new buzz hats and gloves, and Kaylee was just excited to be somewhere new.
There was tons of snow outside and the boys just had to climb up it all! They also liked throwing it, kicking it, and stomping it. Kaylee wasn't as excited about the snow, but she always has a smile to share.
The boys spent a lot of time putting together their snowman...
But enjoyed kicking it over the most!
After snowmen we decided to go to the Pie Hut for lunch. It was the best food ever! The waitress walked by with a tray full of waters and tripped. She ended up spilling the water all over Hunter. At first he just sat there, the water didn't bother him much. Then he realized that all eyes were on him and he just melted down. He had to go to the van with Daddy and get a new sweatshirt and some hugs and kisses before he could come back in calm. When he did come back in we just tried to pretend it didn't happen and he ended up having a great time. The waitress apologized and didn't charge us for Hunter's lunch, which made Mommy happy because she was pretty upset about the whole scenario.
On day two we went to Triple Play! It was lots of fun- and lots of stress, but mostly fun...
