Road trip!

A few weekends ago we decided to take a road trip to Austin to visit with some friends who were moving back and some that were going to be in town.  This was our first road trip that was over an hour.  Let's just say the boys are WAY too active to enjoy the car ride.  Even though they slept for a good portion of the trip.  They do not like to be confined for that long.  

After we got there, all the kids had a blast running around and hanging out.  It was really nice to catch up and see friends that we haven't seen in awhile.

Thing 2 was SO tired after playing that he was asleep before  we even got to the end of the block

Thing 1 took a bit longer to settle down but was down for the count not too long after his brother

Lessons learned - I might need to break out the DVD player in the car for longer trips.  We have one in the car, but have never had to use it.  The Girlchick always was really good in the car for long trips and would just chill and watch the world go by, sing songs, just hang out and didn't fuss much.  The boys, not so much!  We had snacks, but I need to find better containers to put them in for the boys to handle on their own.
