we went on our first family road trip last week!
eating with Marty, Ben, & Aubree at a restaurant in OK. this was the first time for all of them to meet our kids!
shopping at the Galleria in Dallas
Camp Barnabas
Toby is sitting on the giant pepper in front of Central Market
we traveled to Oklahoma for a few days then we visited Camp Barnabas in MO and lastly we went to Arkansas. We were able to see the Smithers, some old camp friends, David's brother Jon, and our friend Marty who just finished boot camp at HGM. We traveled with Ben, one of David's best friends and he was a groomsman at our wedding, and his fiance Aubree, for most of the trip. We had a good time seeing all of these fun people! The hard part was that half way through the trip Toby got really sick and he is still recovering now a week later.
Things that we learned from family vacation 2007:
* we really like starbucks coffee
* attach the pacifier to Elli's shirt so that we dont have to look for it over and over again
* watch out for the cheese on the frito pie at "Okie Burgers" restaurant
* expect many chigger bites after visiting "Barn Again"
* don't take the scenic route in Arkansas unless you want to throw up from the winding hills
* when ordering pizza delivery from a friend's house, make sure you give them the correct address and not the address to the dentist's office
* it is possible for all four of us to sleep peacefully in one room, in fact it's possible for 8 people to sleep peacefully in a 3 bedroom home! :)
* stephanie thinks the "tacos" from Jack in the Box aren't even real food, yet David Smithers thinks they are "awesome"
* don't tell a delirious Toby that "daddy pooped" unless you want him to repeat that phrase over and over and over again
* now we've realized that we need to plan a vacation after our "family vacation" especially if one of the kids is sick! :)
those things we've learned section is hilarious.. glad things were fun... eh, until toby got sick and all~ miss u guys and hope to see you soon!
ReplyDelete"daddy pooped" made me laugh out loud. i also thought about how i use to turn out all the lights and hide in the house...and how bad i would scare david when he walked in the door. the funniest thing was watching his face and the fact that it happenend like three times a week. i'll have to show toby that one!
