Georgia Bound

Last week we visited our sister and brother in law and their 4 kids in Georgia.  We left at 4 am in hopes that the boys would sleep and not freak out for being in the car for 12 hours.  This plan was a success!  Caleb went into some kind of hibernation mode and slept the entire drive.  He didn't even wake when it was time to eat.  

Jake started out well.  We made sure to stop at the rest areas and let him run around and he was content to look out the window and play with some toys I packed.  Half way there he became very antsy and upset.  I pulled out some new toys and it kept him busy until we arrived.  I bought a cookie sheet, magnets, letters, and construction trucks.  He absolutely loved the cookie sheet and magnets.  He loved sticking them on and pulling them off.  When he got tired of that, he played with his trucks in the cookie sheet.  

We arrived at their house a little after 4 pm.  We were so happy to see everyone!! Naturally they cooed at Caleb and Jake hung back to take it all in.  We settled ourselves in and had pizza for dinner.  The kids played while the adults talked until it was bedtime.
