This past weekend was a big one! My little sister proved that she is not so little anymore :(. Our family headed up to Tallahassee to celebrate Katie's college graduation! It was a very large endeavor with a toddler, but all-in-all, we were pretty successful! Since I have way too many photos & not enough time, I'm gonna skip the summary of our trip & try to do it through photo captions....
Connor saying goodbye to his Coopy the night before our trip. Coop was probably thrilled to have his own vacation away from Connor!
We were on the road, stopped for lunch at McD's, then caught a nap...
After a much too short nap, we pulled out Connor's "Dora" dvd to help pass the time!
Stop #2 to let the monster run free.
We took shifts playing/chasing/entertaining Connor while we took potty breaks!
(Connor is very big on holding hands these days...which I love)
After more driving, we made stop #3 at Mcd's for ice cream! Connor made a new discovery at this stop--he realized he could climb all the way to the top of the big kid's playground. Since Mommy was in a dress, Nana got the honors of going to retrieve him! Bless you Nana!
Once we got into Tallahassee, we unloaded & headed to Sonny's for some yummy supper! Connor was having a hard time keeping up with Auntie Katie's long legs as they walked into the restaurant.
Eating out with Connor these days is rather pointless, if you're going to socialize & relax. Connor had devoured his food before our food arrived, so we took shifts playing with Connor outside while the others ate their dinner! Are there really children that sit still & remain quiet in restaurants??!!
Connor getting an airplane ride from his Auntie. This was about the time Auntie Katie realized Connor had a nice, stinky present for her in his britches!
Bedtime wasn't until about 11:30pm that night, but he slept great/all night! Mom was very pleased!
Pinning ceremony!! Doesn't she look like graduate barbie?
Aunt Holly did the honors of pinning Katie. Very cool moment!
Katie's study buddy--two very intelligent blondes!
Dinner afterwards at the "Mellow Mushroom"
Connor & Auntie Katie having a heart-to-heart
Graduation day!
Mommy & Connor weren't able to attend graduation (as I'm sure you can imagine why--a 5 hour ceremony--NOT gonna happen with Connor). We opted to get some energy out at the McD's playground...and then Chick-fil-a's too!
Connor's 1st baseball game
Another great night of sleep!
One of our stops on the trip home. You may have to look closely to find the little person glaring up at one of his favorite sites--flags :)
