Memorial Weekend

We went to the Branson area over Memorial Weekend.  Papa Bear's brother and family live near there.  The trip is only 3 hours so it's not too long for the kids.  However, the ride back was 3 hours too long for them.  The trip home was tough though.  They fell asleep quickly.  However, we made a stop shortly after getting on the road to get drinks and use the restroom.  They never fell back asleep and screamed the last 90 min of the trip.  We were so glad to finally get home.  It was good to see family and so fun to watch the cousins together.  The kids had a great time.   We are driving to Colorado this summer so I hope they tolerate the 10 hour drive.  Any tips for long car rides with a toddler and and 10 month old would be appreciated.
Little Bear all set for the trip with his bear, kitty, and blankies

Checking out the trout

Little Bear loved this tiger.  It was his cousin Jack's.  

Little Bear figured out how to get outside with the door being locked.  Crazy boy!!

Little Cub is 9 Months

My Little Cub is growing so fast.  This post is 3 weeks late - oops.  It's hard to get her picture because she's moving all the time and won't sit still or lay still for me.  She walks some with a push toy, pulls herself to stand, gets into Little Bear's trucks, plays with her books, and smiles a lot.  Occasionally she will clap her hands.  She's still not sleeping through the night which makes me tired.  I'm trying to look at the positive and be happy I have a healthy child to hold.  She won't want me to hold her when she's older so I will take advantage now.











She enjoys her books and I will often find her here looking through them.




So close to walking on her own
