Motel Fun...

We had fun swimming in the pool...grandpa was helping Elsie swim!
Elsie is quite a water bug...I think we might have problem getting out of the pool this summer! Thankfully Elsie has lots of aunties who are willing to take her swimming!
Grandpa is a bad influence sometimes...he was jumping on the bed with the kids...Elsie thought this was lots of fun! I don't think Marissa looks to happy with everyone jumping on her bed as she was trying to watch some tv! I guess that is just part of a big family!

Elsie having fun jumping...the things this girl learns from her aunties...and grandpa!

Elsie and mommy...having a bedtime snack...we have found some tricks to staying in motels with a little girl with lots of allergy induced eczema...one thing we do now is bring our own sheets...and a tea of stinging nettles...seems to work wonders!

Dinner in the motel...only in a motel do the kids get to eat in front of the tv! What a special treat!

Our other trick of traveling is bring all of our own food...it is a pain sometimes to be cooking and baking the day before a trip...but at least we know we are keeping to our regular diet so we don't have any fear of tummy aches! Thank goodness we have a GF store in town to get some special treats at for trips...


My mom stayed with Ana and Brandon for the week to help them out with the baby...and Auntie Em and Marissa were having a difficult time missing mom on the way home...so my dad stopped at the gas station to get them a special treat to help them feel better...and he got Elsie a little treat also...a little dum-dum sucker! This was her first sugary candy treat! I must say she loved it! I sure to tell my dad that this was a one time treat...otherwise I know he would start bringing her a sucker quite often!

Everyone had a fun weekend...the best part being the we got to see baby Oliver...
