Request 1: That Kate be there.
Who could refuse that? So, we packed up and drove 5 1/2 hours to get there. The first two hours were peaceful and quiet (Thanks Grandma J for the travel pillow! We used it in a couple of different positions but this was Kate's favorite:)
The last 3 1/2 hours were filled with cheerios, juice, and plenty of toys and books. Overall, not too bad.
Request 2: We eat at Cracker Barrel
This is Kate and the Birthday Girl waiting on their food.
It wouldn't be a birthday without presents!
Request 3: Go swimming.
The resort we stayed in had 2 indoor pools and a lazy river so we had plenty to keep us busy! Surprisingly, Kate was scared to death of the pool at first. She held on for dear life and teared up if anyone looked or talked to her. Thank goodness that only lasted for the first 20 minutes or so, after that, smooth sailing! We laughed and played and splashed the rest of the day away.
While Kate took a nap Haley, Emma, and I went out on the town. We had a blast being silly and just spending time together.
Not by request but because of tradition we sang "Happy Birthday" and ate cupcakes and ice cream. Needless to say we all enjoyed that but I think it is safe to say that I think Kate enjoyed it the most!
Then it was time to head back home. Only 1 hour of sleep on the way back.
But don't worry, we found the trick to staying happy; a Steak and Shake chocolate milkshake :)
