island park - part 4

Driving home.

We had to make quite a few stops on the side of the freeway.

(we weren't reeeally parking, it just looks as though we are breaking the law)

Gage was so over being in the car. That made for a long trip home. We made a lot of stops and wandered around a few stores to give him a break from the car.

He definitely figured out how to get us out of the car. We'd be driving along, finally making good time, when suddenly the familiar poopy diaper smell would fill the car. We'd pull over and change him in the front seat. He thought it was funny.

He is becoming a thumb sucker.

And he get stuck pulling his own hair.

Sadly, he doesn't know what is coming.

A short break is better than no break.

Right?

And then he realizes what is coming.

The car seat. Boo.

We made another stop in Ogden for a break. Gage was insisting on one.

Jammies on and a little giggle with dad and we are on our way.

We had a lot of fun and are getting better at traveling (packing the car) with more than the two of us.

Oh I feel ya about traveling and packing for more than 2. We traveled 4300 miles in June and July. You sure get it after a while. Gage is really a cutie!

He is adorable as usual! We were coming home from the Grand Canyon last week, and our 3 year old kept having to stop for potty emergencies. (So basically, it doesn't get any better when they are older and potty trained :)

Just wait until he figures out that HUGE poops mean HUGE stops. I actually had to take Quinn's carseat apart in a gas station restroom on the drive home to get the poop out.
