Control.... It matters!
Day two of the trip we made it to the motel late in the evening. Unloading the vehicle took minutes and the kids were out like little lights. Number one granddaughter and I shared more memories and managed to fall asleep before 1am in the morning. Without much of a plan for the day we went with the whatever the rest of the relatives wanted to do. So much for visiting the sick first thing!
There is an ice cream shop called "The Great Northern Carousel". After a trip to the cemetery and a picnic in the park we headed over for ice cream and a ride on the carousel.
We returned to the motel room and fed the kids the long awaited "happy meal". Nine hundred miles on the road and the most anticipated thing for the littles was a trip to the golden arches! I have failed miserably as a parent this go around LOL!
Dinner had been planned to be at the relatives home but it got to be quite late and the littles melt down between 7pm and 9pm without food or sleep. So better luck for the next planned meal!
The littles handled the cemetery visit pretty good. Here they are sitting on Uncle Steve. DS#1 and his wife are in the background with their two boys and there are two little girls that are cousins in some fashion or another :) to the grandsons.
While at the park DH and the granddaughter decided to plan the events for the next day. It included going back to the same park and swimming in the pool. UGH! That requires a bathing suit even for me :( Trust me there will no photos of that!!!
