On the Road Again- Philly

September 14, 2012

Today we packed up and headed back on the road to Philly!
Ben’s Mom and Step Dad have been fostering 2 little ones for a long time
and the adoption finally went through last week!
We are the Godparents of one of them..
So we are making a quick day and a half trip for the Baptism and Party. :)

Sophie started the trip off with a prayer.. that we would drive safe and “not hit a reindeer”
(we might have grazed a deer last year..scarred for life.)
I was praying for a safe easy drive and that the kids would sleep.
(they napped an hour of the 5 hour trip…)
Twizzler bribery might have happened.

Favorite part of the trip:
Hearing the girls “Read” brown bear brown bear what do you see.
Least favorite part of the trip:
Leaning back and trying to referee from the front seat while
holding a little human in my belly/lap that was kicking and stretching inside me.
braxton hicks every time I had to move/stretch.
Seriously though..I felt two little feet on the left side..
and a head at the other side..
stretching..
my belly can only stretch so far little one!! ;)
ben felt it..and is convinced we have a basketball
player that is going to be born 3 ft tall.
Pretty sure someone snuck red bull into their juice cup.
good thing she’s cute. ;)

Arrived at our hotel!
The girls were acting like this was the most incredible experience of their lives.. haha.
This isn’t even their first hotel.. but they are at an age where they can share the fun!
Their backpacks weigh more than they do. I packed them..only to find as we walked out the door that they had packed MORE random stuff.
(a wheel from the broken baby stroller? seriously sienna? hehe.)
We already hit up the indoor pool..lots of giggles and squealing.
It doesn’t take much to make these girls happy. :)
The big Baptism day is tomorrow! Signing off for the weekend..
Some fun posts coming next week.
Have a great weekend!

    I LITERALLY cant stop laughing/crying over how amazingly random the broken stroller wheel is. Love this!
