We made a trip to West Virginia this weekend to celebrate Brandi's college graduation. It was a whirlwind of a trip! Jeremy worked a full day on Friday so we go to his parents late--which means the children stayed up later than late. Our trip went very smoothly though. We ate supper in the car and made no stops. 4.5 hours of straight driving! There were moments when I was listening to Aliza and Josiah talk and we were all singing along with the radio that I smiled to myself because I know that these are the moments when a family bonds. Eventually, the car got quiet and all 3 took short naps before we arrived.
Saturday morning everyone woke up ready to play. It was a beautiful day. TV was not even requested!!!! Outside they went to play.
Brunch was eaten outside.
Josiah laid down to rest, but he couldn't sleep. Instead he and Aliza spent more time playing outside.
Later in the afternoon, we watched Brandi graduate thanks to Shepherd University streaming the ceremony.
Brandi's parents hosted the Heslop family for a graduation celebration that evening. We had SO much fun. Seriously, look at this grass...on a hill...that leads to a river. With a deck and hot tub at the top of the hill. Who couldn't have fun!? The hill begged to be run down and rolled down. Aliza and I ran down to the river. Then we WALKED back up!
A tired boy couldn't make it back up the hill!
We sat in the hot tub while the sun set.
And watched the Super Moon rise.
I am so lucky to have such amazing in-laws. And so lucky to have amazing in-laws who have amazing families!!! It is fun to just feel adopted into the family for an evening.
Sunday morning we left for home. We arrived home just in time to unpack and head to Renee's 2nd birthday party! That, too, was fun. However, I was pretty much pooped and I wasn't feeling overly social. =)
Now, thankfully, my house is silent. Hopefully, everyone will sleep good tonight so that we can (happily) start another week tomorrow!
