Traveling to the farm

I had to do a quick post about our travels to the farm. It is a 6 1/2 hour drive, which, of course takes longer than that with 3 little ones. They really did quite well. Grant only screamed for 10 minutes at one point when he was tired and was thinking why aren't these people putting me in my crib?!?! Emma is getting old enough that she is trying to understand the time frame of the trip and that means that every 10 minutes you hear, "Are we almost to the farm yet?" Exciting. Arianna, who usually takes a 2-3 hour nap at home, slept about 20 minutes in the car. Also exciting.

The highlight of the trip was our visit to Hershey Chocolate World again. You regular readers may remember we stopped there on the way up at Christmas time, as well. It was fun to visit with the kids again. They were excited to see the singing cows again. In fact, if you ask Arianna about our trip she will say, "We already saw the singing cows. They sing about chocolate. Why do they sing about chocolate? Because there is milk in it." She cracks us up.

Here are the pics and a couple of videos for fun:

Grant's favorite toys on the drive: a hotel key from Kenneth's travels and his toes. Everything else he chucks over the edge of his seat.

Our 2 little factory workers.

Here they are again- they packaged up some Kisses.

The kids and I in front of Chocolate World.

Arianna must have her Burp cloth to travel. Yeah- she sleeps with a burp cloth and still sucks her thumb. At least it's not a big blanket I have to haul around everywhere. And she really doesn't care which burp cloth it is. That's nice, too, I guess.

Emma chose to bring Parrot as her animal of choice to come on the trip. She looks so grown up to me in this picture.


Here are the singing cows.


Here is Grant and his latest funny noises and cute laugh. And of course, he chucked the toy over the edge of his car seat and went for the toes.
