We spent the weekend traveling through North Carolina visiting my grandmothers, aunts, and cousins. My mom and her friend, Maggie, also joined us today for lunch. We had a great time, but we are exhausted. We stayed in our camper but traveled each day to visit family in a different part of the state. Anna Grace did great on her first weekend away from home, and she was happy to sleep on the bottom bunk in the camper. We were worried about how she would do in the car that long, but she was okay as long as we had lots of snacks and sang endless rounds of "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "I'm Bringing Home a Baby Bumble Bee."
When we got home we discovered that Alex's hamster had escaped- again. She had moved her Poptart box across her cage and shoved a bunch of shavings and chew toys under it so that she could reach the hole in the top that she chewed the last time she escaped. Fortunately she was hiding behind the towel basket in the corner of the boy's bathroom- the same place she hid last time we went camping for the weekend. If you haven't read about the adventures of Alex's hamster, you might enjoy reading my post from September 2009. Alex has one adventurous hamster!
Mike and I also celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary yesterday. We could not go out for a romantic dinner this year since Anna Grace is not ready for a babysitter yet, but we enjoyed our family time in the mountains. We left our camper at the camp ground and will be back next weekend for the 4th of July golf cart parade, cookout, and fireworks over the lake.
