Road trip



Last month we drove to south Georgia for Mother's Day and Hunter's graduation from high school. We were a little worried about how Emory would do, but our fears were quickly relieved with the first Elmo movie. In the end, the drive was a dream come true for all of us, especially Emory. Daddy, Mommy, and Elmo all in a tight space for as many movies as the drive allowed was pretty great in her eyes. 

This is Emory's first horse ride on Romeo. She did great. "Mommy, WHAT are we doing? What are WE doing?"


You can't be too safe right? She wants all the floats. :)

Making friends with a turtle.


The end of the 17 hour drive. It showed. :) The next day she said, "Mommy, that trip made me tired."



Through psychology we know that children process their experiences through play. As soon as we got home from the drive Emory set up the seats, put her "friends" in the chairs, and said, "They are going on a big trip." 

Anyone who says the second half of your life is for slowing down needs to travel with my Dad.
