First Road Trip

All set for her first road trip

This past weekend we took our first road trip with Rylee. We went to Big Rapids, MI for the NMU vs. Ferris St. game. It is about a 5 hour drive and Rylee was so good for us both on the way there and back. She was sleeping a few minutes after we left our house and then slept for the next 3.5 hours! I think she really likes the car, at least for now. We have a lot of road trips this fall so we are hoping that she continues to travel well.

A few minutes into the trip and she's already sleeping (look at those cheeks)

We had a good time in Big Rapids. Friday night we met my family at the hotel. We got to see my mom, dad, Brad, Vanessa (and her boyfriend Alex), Auntie Diane, Uncle Lance, and cousins Tyler and Zach. With all the commotion going on Rylee didn't get to bed til after 11 PM but then she slept til 4 AM.

Saturday we went to the game, which we lost and was kind of a bummer game. But it was so nice to see everyone!

Uncle Brad, Rylee, Alex (Vanessa's Boy) and his niece Kayleigh (who is 11 days younger than Rylee) People thought they were twin boys dressed all in green and gold.

Saturday night we stayed with my mom and Vanessa in the hotel again. Jaclynn, Jason, and Maddy drove up from Howell to see us and stayed at the hotel as well. We just sat around and visited, played with the girls, and ordered pizzas. It was great to see them again too, even if it was just for a night. Maddy absolutely loves Rylee. She wanted to be by her all the time and play with her. Then she would get all concerned for Rylee when she would cry. It was really cute.

Sunday morning we all went out for breakfast and then headed home. Again Rylee slept for the first 3 hours or so and then we stopped to get out and change her and let her stretch. We listened to football the whole way home so the trip went really fast. Then we got to come home and watch highlights of the Packers win and Favre's record setting touchdowns. Yeah!
