We were planning on leaving first thing Monday morning for WI . . . however, I got the crazy idea to leave at night, (making our trip about 3 hours shorter) . . . and we left Sunday night! The kids think it's great to travel at night -- all was well, except for Tyler being awake from 2-4am. Guess he didn't want to miss seeing Iowa in the dark!
Tyler chillin' with Grandpa in the tent! (Yes, Grandpa is IN the tent!)
So, the kid's gift from G/G was a trip to the water park -- it has become an annual tradition of sorts. (M/D Nelson are referred to by the kids as "Grandma and Grandpa with the water park!). Anyway, I didn't get any pics of the park since my camera was inside the van, however, this was what it looked like after we had been in the van for 7 minutes after being there for 6 hours! They were pooped! (and so were we!)
Tyler liked to get an early start on the day -- so this was a mid-morning nap to compensate for the 5am wake up!
Snuggling with Grandma! This lasted about 25 seconds.
As did this . . .
In front of the fireplace -- one of the BEST places at Grandma and Grandpa's!
One of the cousins was Kayla's spotter NUMEROUS times asshe tried working on her "kick stand."
The twins and Kayla on the couch -- lots of fun together!
