Yesterday, Mike turned 27 years old. Since John and Lindsey live only about 2 hours away now, and since Lindsey will be celebrating her birthday later this week, we thought we'd head up there for a little joint celebration. It's the first little road trip we've taken with Logan since she was 6 months old, so I was a little nervous about it...but I guess it's better to know how she reacts now on a two hour trip before we make our big drive to FL when we'll be in the car for 13 hours. Ew. A friend of ours lent us a car dvd player and it seemed to really help quite a bit, I think we'll be using it again in August and then will start looking into purchasing our own set (or putting it on the Christmas wish list).
All ready to go!
Aunt Carolyn got L this little Elmo doll a couple of weeks ago and Logan won't sleep without it now. When we head to bed we have to search for my-my (her blanket) and mo-mo before she'll lay down.
When we got there, Logan made herself right at home in their computer chair.
Mike and John headed out to play a round of golf, so, Lindsey and I took L to the big pool. It's the first time she's really been in a big pool and so we got her a little life vest and she was all set!
She seemed to enjoy the water. She DID NOT like that she couldn't touch the bottom...but since it was so hot out, she decided it wasn't that important and continued to hop right in.
After the boys got back, we headed out to the mall to walk around before dinner. Logan got her first ride in a little mall car from Uncle John and really enjoyed it. We had to pry her out of the car when the ride was over.
We did a little bit of shopping. Logan picked out a cute little t-shirt dress for herself. I'm not lying...she picked it out and took it right to her dad.
John bought a ball for himself, which Logan quickly claimed as her own...and I think it's still in one of our little bags waiting to be unpacked. I may have to hide it. She gets a little crazy throwing it.
Then we went and had a nice birthday dinner at Olive Garden.
For those of you with little babies who can't move around yet--take lots of family pictures! When you hit 18 months they no longer care to look at the camera. We took about 5 and this was the closest to a good one we could get. :)
J & L.
Dinner took quite a while, so after exhausting all of our entertaining abilities, Mike let Logan play with his glasses.
The trip home was pretty uneventful. Logan slept the whole time. We were hoping to get her into the house and into bed asleep, but it was raining when we pulled up and it woke her up. It took us quite a while to get her back down, but she then slept until almost 8 this morning, so she made up for it. Happy 27th Mike!
