A LONG drive... but such a fun time!

Well, we decided on a whim to visit Kent at work this week. We drove up to NY (6 hour drive) on Monday evening (with Kent). We drove half way Monday evening. We stopped in Pennsylvania for the night. The girls did good. Kensley didn't sleep in the car! Well, I take that back- she FINALLY gave in about 30 minutes before we got to the hotel. We didn't unpack the car; just took diapers in and went straight to bed. We got up around 8 on Tuesday morning and headed to Denny's for breakfast. Then, back on the road for another 3.5 hours. I believe we watched EVERY DVD we had in the car. As long as they were playing, Kensley was ok. After a pit stop and a little stretching, we made it to NY about an hour later. Since our hotel wasn't ready for us, we stopped at a local park and ate lunch and Kensley played on the playground. She had a lot of fun- there was a school bus there for lunch, so that gave plenty of kids for Kensley to play with. We finally got to the hotel room. Kenlsey was a MESS all day! All of the traveling and no naps was really getting to her. She was acting out like crazy- not normal for her AT ALL! I tried to get her to take a nap but it wasn't happening. She wanted to play in the room.... here are a couple pictures...

Trying to keep Kallie happy while I deal with her big sister!

Climbing in chairs.... messing with stuff on the table


This was right when we got to the hotel room.... she still had her PJ's on from the night before :)

Bedtime was at about 8:45....... and she didn't wake until 9:45 the next morning!!!

That seems like fun!! What are ya'll going to do while yo are in NY? Cori has never stayed in a hotel - I wonder how she'd do! She won't sleep in the bed with us, so I'm not sure how that would work out!!!
