We just got back from visiting Grandma and Grandad Rhodes in Fayetteville, NC. The boys had their own room so it was the first time we stayed somewhere that wasn't home and didn't have to sneak into bed. It was great! The boys had a ball playing with their grandparents and Uncle Clint and dogs Chloe and Chewy and Isaac knew which dog was which and called them by name.

Some of te extended family came over for a cookout on Saturday and all the kids played really well together. It was nice to see the boys get so engrossed in play with the other kids so we could be in another room and they didn't panic to find us. They did have a couple sleepy induced breakdowns but we tried to remember they were out of their element and how old they were and got through the weekend just fine.

The car ride up was good for the boys thought the weather was horrible and of course the opposite for both cases on the way home. Eden busted his lip on the front porch coming in from dinner Sunday night so it was probably irritating him, hence part of his seemingly eternal frustration on the way home. Overall, they were really good and we all had a good visit.
