Maddy makes a visit

So about two weeks ago, Maddy went on a road trip to Southern Indiana. We had originally planned to go to Michigan, but things kind of changed at the last minute and we re-routed.

We planned well. We had plenty of road munchies, toys for the car, and even a little DVD player that we borrowed from mom with plenty of Spongebob for a baby to enjoy. (By the way, babies like to meow back at Gary the snail when he meows. It's highly entertaining.) Ash rigged the DVD player so it was perfect for baby viewing and we were all set. Maddy had a pretty sweet set up!



We took breaks at rest stops and Maddy had a great time running about.



Maddy's favorite part of the car trip was the Doritos though. Especially when a girl starts to get fussy, Doritos just magically appear in your hands.

By the time we stopped at Subway to eat, about 7 hours into our trip, Maddy was very orange, even her shoes (which are still orange), dirty from the rest stop running, and exhausted because babies don't nap well in the car.



It was such a relief to finally get there and we all slept really well that night. The next day was very eventful. We helped replant a tree. Maddy is a fabulous gardener... well, she likes dirt.



We helped move a bed and Maddy found her favorite thing... a box a Kleenex. We caught her fleeing the scene of the crime.



And, she got to spend some time with her cousin, Addison.



All in all, a fun trip and Maddy slept VERY well, when we got home!
