On The Road Again

Monday afternoon, I packed up my little ones and set off on our first road trip (alone) to Shreveport.

Here they are with their new carseat covers that came in just in time for our trip...



And thanks to Shannon, I did some research and everyone is back to rear facing for the car. Good thing is, they didn't even mind the switch!



We only had to make one stop on the way there which wasn't bad at all. We stopped at a Starbuck's in Lufkin for a quick coffee and the babies had some goldfish. Changed diapers, loaded them back up and we were off!

We arrived safely at The Great Aunt Sue's casa at around 8:15pm, ate some delicious dinner and then were off to bed (the babies at least, Sue and I stayed up until almost 4 am talking!!!)

The next morning we got up and went to lunch at Cane's and then went shopping at Toys R Us where the trio adopted an Up Up Elmo...compliments of The Great Aunt Sue!!!

Later that night, we went to Robert's Boy Scout thingy...



And then on Wednesday, we got an extra special treat...

Its been almost a year since a nice lady named Denise sent me an email. Her cousin Frank and his wife Kimberly had just been blessed with triplets and when she was looking for their website she stumbled across ours. See, her cousin's last name was Guinn, meaning that there was (and are!!!) two sets of Guinn Triplets (not even 6 months apart!) The other Guinn triplets live in Georgia which is kind of far from us, however, Denise and a lot of the Guinn family live in a town outside of Shreveport, where my family is from. Both sets of Guinn Triplets have been to Lousiana in the past to visit family but never at the same time, so when Kimberly sent me a message saying that they were headed to Shreveport and I saw there was nothing on our calendar, we decided to make it an offical gathering of the Guinn Triplets!

The Texas Guinn Triplets and The Georgia Guinn Triplets (plus their Mommy's!!!)

They seemed to hit it off!

We all went to lunch at Joe's Crab Shack. The Georgia Guinn Triplet's Nana was very generous and treated us ALL ...(THANK YOU!!!)

And then sadly we had to say good bye. Hopefully we'll all "run into each" other again soon...they sure are a neat family!!!!



Not only did we say goodbye to the Georgia Guinn Triplets, but we also had to say farewell to our hostess Aunt Sue. We had had a GREAT time in Shreveport but Daddy was at home all lonely so we had to get back. The trio fell asleep on the way home from Joe's Crab Shack, I loaded up the car and then set off...Texas bound.

I had to wake them all up in Lufkin because we needed gas so we went ahead and pulled over to eat. There was a Catfish King that looked pretty empty so we tried it out. Everyone was overly friendly which was especially helpful when I got the Choo Choo Wagon stuck in the bathroom! (There were two sharp turns to get into the restroom which wasn't a big deal pulling it in. Reversing to leave however WAS a big deal!!!)

Loading up the car after our pit stop (They may have been embarrassed at the whole restroom situation!!!)

We're home now and the babies and their Daddy are all sleeping...I think I'll join them!
