The first weekend of this month we took a trip to Montgomery to visit DH's family. This was the first time the extended family got to see Princess. It's a great family tradition to have a hayride around this time of year. We gather together and cook hotdogs around a bonfire, followed by Smores!! The kids ask for this hayride all year!
The trip was a little rocky to begin with. Let's just say that our precious little angel of only 10 weeks does NOT like to ride in the car. She made this very well known to all of us. I think she slept an hour out of the 5 hour ride. The rest of the time she was screaming! I knew she wasn't wet, hungry, hurting....she was just MAD! I remember Tink doing the same thing when she was that age. Of course it bothered us a lot more with the first baby.
The same fussiness took place on the way home as well. We decided to stop in Meredian to take a break. We got her out, took potty breaks, and let her calm down. It was nice to get peace and quiet for a little while. When we got back in the car we found out the car was dead. Man-Man loves to play in the front seat when the car's not on. While Daddy was changing Princess' diaper he decided to turn on the headlights. i.e. dead car!! I tried to go up to a lady who was sitting in her big truck and she wouldn't roll down her window to talk to me. I felt like she thought I was a criminal waiting to rob her. OUCH! Did I really look that bad? Finally a nice, large African American man with a rigged up Bronco and blaring rap music walked quietly over with the beloved jumper cables. What an angel he was! Thank you Lord!
We made it home safely. That's the important thing. But we are not going on any more road trips until Christmas. I pray she's gotten through this stage by then.
I'm uploading some pics of the hayride. We had an awesome time and the kids are still talking about it!
