weekend in Thief River

This past weekend the kids and I rode up with Kari and Addy to Kari's parents' house. I would be lying if I didn't say I was a little bit nervous about a 5-6 hour drive with 3 kids under 3, but it actually went remarkably well! We only had to stop once each way (granted the stops were about 1.5 hours!) but we were pleasantly surprised! We had a lot of fun and the kids warmed up to new people quickly. Sophie was especially enamored with Kari's dad, "grandpa." She was calling them grandpa, grandma, and grandma great all weekend (Kari's grandma lives there too). It was adorable. I let Kari take all the pictures for the weekend with her sweet new camera! I love the moments that she captured!

looks like CPR, but actually is tickling Addy
