It's been a tough road, but it's been totally worth it!

First roadtrip!

Last week we took our first road trip! Yep, we packed up and drove to Sioux Falls, SD to go visit great grandma Wehling! It is about a 3 hour drive, one way. We surprised grandma by just showing up at her door, and she was sooo excited! We visited for awhile with grandma and got caught up on the family "happenings". It was really nice, and Elizabeth was so well behaved! Here she is with her great grandma:



After that, we stopped by the mall there in Sioux Falls, to surprise Tommy's cousin Alissa and her brother-in-law Tim. They both work at a shoe store there in the mall. It was great to see them both, and they both enjoyed meeting Elizabeth for the first time!





She did really well on the trip up and back... slept most of the time, but when she wasn't, we played in the backseat together. We also realized in a hurry that we have instantaneously grew out of my car! We had to scoot the front seat up so far to get the car seat behind it, so I had enough room in the back to sit and feed her. My knees kept hitting the glove compartment, so I mostly sat in the back with Elizabeth. Can't imagine traveling like that further distances! no room for the dogs either! So looks like we are looking at a Tahoe or Suburban. Better for those trips to the cabin this summer... can't wait for those! :)
