Road Trippin

Myself, Jax, Aria and my cousins Dawson and Preslie took a little road trip to Colorado Springs area over spring break. We went to visit my aunt their nana and my cousin Erik and his four kids. It was a great time. The actual driving wasn't as bad as I thought it would be with 2 little ones. The key.....movie player and food....lots of food. We had a whole box of food for Jax to eat. And Im pretty sure he ate and ate and ate. We left at around 3am and drove straight the whole way. Well I drove the whole way.

Besides visit with family we went to Garden of the Gods which was so much fun. Jax was totally of his normal schedule and didn't nap at all. So he was more difficult than I was hoping. He wasn't in the best of moods at garden of the gods but he had moments of pure joy. It was fun...although not the best decision to take my stroller on the hiking trails.....

We also went to Cave of the Winds which again Jax was tired and slightly grumpy but it was so cool and view was amazing. Aria slept pretty much the whole time in the carrier. My back was not so happy lol. Preslie did a ropes course and zip line that she enjoyed. Jax and Layla did a big box maze and Jax got his head stuck in a whole....which was totally stressful because it truly was stuck. I had to take Aria off in a jiffy and climb in and literally pull his head out. The whole I was thinking I would have to call someone to deconstruct the whole thing to get him out. \He loved playing in the water sifting for rocks.

My favorite moment of the whole trip though would have to be the night all of my little cousins and I stayed up really late talking, telling stories and laughing. It was such a sweet moment and will be a memory forever. I also really enjoyed watching walking dead with Erik and having the mortal combat night with Erik Dawson and Preslie. Such sweet memories. Nothing is better than cousin time. I wish we could see them more! It was a great trip overall!
