Road Trip!

Armed with our two pack and plays (one hand-me-down, one bought off craigslist), two duffel bags of clothes and toys, the double stroller, and a whole lot more, we headed to San Antonio this weekend to visit a few friends and some family. We are hoping to take a few short trips this spring since the girls are a little older and can ride in the car for a bit longer now, so this was the first one this spring. We like driving to San Antonio to visit because it's not too far with little ones in tow, and there are many people to see there that we know and love!

Our first stop was to visit my best friend Jentry and her family. Her son, Jack, is three, and was also born in January, so he's exactly two years older than the twins. He brought the twins all kinds of toys to play with and talked to them all the time. They LOVED him and were just enthralled with him the whole time. Claire was just beside herself that she got to spend so much time with her new (boy)friend!

Claire is mesmerized by her "Superman" Jack!

Our new best friend! Watching a little Scooby Doo together.

The car ride went well overall - we did endure a bit of choral screaming before the girls nodded off, but they did a great job and loved riding in their new "big girl" car seats! Caroline is just chillin' in her seat...

At one point, she took her sock off and began sucking on it, and when I turned around to check on her, she was starting to nod off, with the sock in her mouth!

An hour later, sound asleep, still with the sock...gives a new meaning to, "Stuff a sock in it!"

Claire loves riding in her seat and anytime we go in the car now, as soon as I open the door and show her the car seat, she grins and reaches for it. I think she would be happy sitting in it all day long!

She, too, discovered her sock and is examining it a little more closely here.

Not sure what it is, but those socks sure are tasty! (And yes, both of them still love flapping their arms wildly!)
