Road Trip!

We took Caroline on her first road trip this weekend...Destination: Erickson Family Lakehouse in Corsicana, TX.
After this little road trip, I completely understand why people don't travel with their children!!!! It required a lot of gear to be away from home for 2 nights...whew! The weather was beautiful and the company was even better, so it was all well worth it :)
Here is a little recap of the festvities...
It's about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Austin to the Lakehouse, and we have to drive right through Waco. Of course this means, we stopped at George's!!!!


Not quite ready for her first Big O yet, but I think she still likes George's almost as much as her Mommy and Daddy.

We ran into Jon's great friend, Andrew, and his girlfriend, Melanie, while we were there...so random and so fun!

Caroline was excited to meet her Uncle Andrew!

Our friends, the Vietti's, came down from Dallas to hang out with us at the lake. Their daughter Matelyn was born a week before Caroline, so we couldn't wait for everyone to meet for the first time!

The girls!

Caroline and Matelyn seemed to hit it off right away! They even linked their little arms together :) We predict the will be BFF's for sure.

We had lots of fun all weekend...


Daddy "fishing" with his girls...Although, he decided it was really more like "casting" since he didn't actually catch any fish :(

Luci following Daddy EVERYWHERE on the 4-wheeler.


Although, I have no photographic evidence, our friends Sarah and Peter joined us at the lake, too!!! We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and we had such a wonderful weekend! Thank you Peter, Sarah, Matt, Ginny, and Matelyn for spending your weekend with us!!!!!

Caroline looks so much more alert. Glad to see that all is well. I can't imagine having to take all of the "stuff" that she needs on a road trip for that long :)
