NC 2010

We returned home from Michigan last Sunday night and on Tuesday morning I packed the kiddos up and drove 9 1/2 hours to North Carolina to spend some time with Allison and her family. We only stopped one time on the way here to eat lunch and get gas! It was a great trip!

John and I have found that it is much easier to pack lunches for the kids and stop at a park to have a picnic lunch rather than do fast food when we travel. The kids can spread out on a picnic blanket on the ground and run around afterward. We use our gps feature to find nearby parks

and then we don't have to worry about the kids getting hit by cars in the rest stop parking lots.

So on the way down here I found a Retirement village with a little park and let the kids play for a bit, eat, and use our portable potty. Then the boys slept and I busted out my ipod and drove without stopping until we arrived!

We have been to a few of the local museums and parks and taken the kids swimming a lot, but my kids favorite activities so far have been dressing up in Cameron's super hero costumes. Even though my boys don't know who any of the characters are, they are really enjoying themselves. Wyatt even slept in his Buzz Lightyear costume last night.

Jonah found this costume and hasn't stopped wearing it since he saw my reaction of dismay when he came down strutting his stuff in it.

I am hoping that these boys have super powers though because my three little boys have been struck with a bug and have had super high fevers for the last 48 hours. It will take some serious strength to recover from this bad bug!
