A few weeks back we went on our annual Ky trip. What is normally a 3 hour trip took us 7!!! One thing having 3 kids has taught us is sometimes we just have to go with the flow and not be in too big of a hurry. All three did great on the ride, we just had to make a few stops which resulted in feeding a baby a few bottles. As much as Harper spits up it is just easier to feed her out of the car and give her tummy a chance to settle. We made it in time for the kids to swim a bit and then had dinner at the lodge.
We spent a lot of time at the pool and had a great time at Patti's. One big difference this year was the horse rides. We were so impressed last summer with Turner and his eagerness to ride a horse. He isn't much of an animal lover and this floored all of us. Well, this year he was more like the Turner we know:) He cried, didn't want to do it once we got there, but I still managed to snap a few pictures of him sitting on the horse. The kids love this Kentucky trip as much as anything, and it is such a blessing for Mimi and Boo Boo to take us every year!! We appreciate it so much, especially knowing how much the kids love it. It is comparable to Disney World to them.
Harper was a complete angel the entire time. I honestly don't remember if she cried once. I do remember when Turner was a baby being so worried that he was disturbing people in the rooms next to us. He was always a terrible sleeper and would cry on and off throughout the night. Harper slept in her little rocker next to me and would just talk when she woke up. I would fix her a bottle, feed her, and she went right back to sleep. Maddie and Turner went to sleep pretty easily and slept through the night fine as well. I think it was the first vacation with a baby where I didn't come home exhausted. We all seemed to get enough rest and it was fun for the whole family.
The trip home didn't take nearly as long as it did getting there!! We always enjoy this little weekend get away and this year was no exception!
