The Smith boys - four generations
Today Jason and I took the boys on their first road trip. We went to Hannibal, MO to go to his family's picnic, about 3 hours from our house. The boys were really good on the trip there, we timed their morning feeding to be done just as we wanted to leave, and they slept the majority of the way. Ryan woke up about 30 minutes from the farm, but as long as we kept moving, he fell back asleep pretty fast.
We completely surprised everyone, since we only told Jason's parents that we were thinking about going to the picnic... it all depended on how everyone was doing that morning. It was great to get out of the house and see family. The boys enjoyed being outside, meeting new faces.
The drive home was a little more interesting. Ryan started to get upset about an hour from the farm, but we quickly realized that mom can just barely squeeze in the back of the car with the boys and be on binkie duty, if absolutely necessary.
So we have our first long car trip under our belts... the big test will be a trip to Wisconsin. We are still planning on July for that one. Hopefully our two month vaccinations go well so we can enjoy the trip!
