We left for Lubbock on Thursday afternoon. Our plan was to leave at 8:00 at night, but anyone who has meet us knows that we don't always stick to the plan. We went to the pool in the morning, had lunch and then had nothing else to do. So, we decided to hit the road! Why? I have no idea. It would have been so much easier to travel while the girls were sleeping. But after about nine hours on the road, we made it.
I had wrapped the girls about 6 presents each. When they would start wanting out I would pull out a present. They would open it and play with it for about five minutes and then be ready to get out of their seats again!
We left around 2:45 in the afternoon and I gave them their first present a coloring/activity book and crayons. Yes, Lyric is just wearing panties. She was wearing a dress and as soon as she got in the car she took it off. I don't know why, I guess she wanted to be comfortable... whatever works for ya!
We took our first rest stop outside of Brownwood at about 4:40. We had a snack and walked around a little. When we were sitting on the picnic table we noticed a birds nest on the roof. We then noticed an egg on the picnic table. It was sad to see the cracked egg, but daddy assured the girls that there were probably some eggs that did make it.
We went to Wal Mart in Brownwood. I don't really remember why, but the girls enjoyed looking at the toys. Lyric has been wanting some diving sticks, so we picked some up. We thought we could use them at the hotel pool. Little did I know they would come in handy in the car! I am sure they are safe for the one year old to chew on, right?Surly they are safe for the two year old to chew on too, right? They also make great juggling sticks!
The girls did sleep some on the way, but not near as much as I would have liked!
We finally rolled into Lubbock about 11:30. Thankfully Story and Cadence were sleeping, but not Lyric. Miss Lyric caught a second wind when we got there. She kept walking around the hotel saying how nice our "house" was and how big it was! It was after midnight when she and daddy finally went to sleep.
