We're back!

Ok, so we got back two days ago but I've been busy catching up on laundry, dishes and being tired! The trip went well considering we were traveling with such young children. The ride up was fine.




We ate on the way and they watched a movie the whole way up. They didn't end up going to bed until midnight, after running around the rooms for a while and then eating pizza while giggling at 'America's Funniest Home Video's'. They all slept well, aside from Shaelyn who is not used to sleeping with someone in bed.

The next day we were up and going by 6:45am, thanks Cobi!



We got breakfast on the way up to Gooseberry Falls. Walked the trails, saw the waterfalls, bought some souvenir's and headed back to Duluth for the college tour.

I ended up bringing the kids into Target with me to kill some of the 2 hour wait we had. They each got a toy, hoping it would keep them entertained on the way back home. Unfortunately by the time we were done shopping and then picked up my Mom and sister the kids were all overly tired. We ate some snacks and tried to get them to fall asleep. Unfortunately with construction traffic and Duluth rush hour we were in the car a lot longer than expected. They all melted down and cried quite hard for a good while. We made pit stops to change diapers and let them out of their seats but that almost made getting back into the seats harder.

We finally made it home and let them go straight to the backyard to run off the pent up energy. Overall, it was a good trip. We were all exhausted upon our return but we made it safely! I don't think I'll be taking any more road trips without Daddy and definitely not while 30 weeks pregnant!
