First Weekend Trip

We made our first weekend road trip to Queensbury to meet up with Mimi, Papa Fred and Uncle Timmy for Palm Sunday.  Mikey had a great time playing with Caden (their next door neighbor) as well as all of the toys Daddy and his brothers played with when they were kids.  On Sunday we went to see Uncle Timmy at work with Mimi's brother, Mark and his girlfriend, Erin.

Nicholas did a great job sleeping (slept through the night both nights!).  On the car ride up, Nicholas did great for the first two hours and was irritable for the last hour.  We survived by singing Bon Jovi songs and playing with his rainmaker toy.  For our drive back home, however,  it was a tad more stressful.  We were about 45 minutes into the trip when we stopped.  I took off some layers thinking he was hot since it was not time to eat.  When he started crying again we stopped at another rest stop where I changed and fed him.  He began crying as we were getting back on road again which resulted in me sitting between the boys on the floor (unsafe, yes but it was better than hearing my baby scream for the last hour and a half!).  All he wanted was to see me.  I held his hand and he stopped crying immediately.

All in all, it was a successful trip.  We just won't be traveling any further than three hours for a few more weeks until SOMEONE can tolerate a longer car ride.....
