We left on Friday at 10am, we wanted to leave earlier but sleep got the best of all of us! After breaky and a little more packing, we were on our way! I was so excited!
All packed and ready to go!
Almost sleeping!
And He is OUT!
On our way there we were going to stop in Morris, to have a picnic lunch and let Hayden crawl around and stretch his legs. But plans changed, Hayden pretty much slept the whole ride, so instead of waking him and probably have a grouchy boy we decided to just drive on thru! We got there around 1, we went as fast as we could, plus the speeding limit was 110 for some of the way!
When we got there we checked into the hotel and Adrian wanted to get his shopping done. So we went shopping! Adrian got dress pants, shirt, tie, tshirts, shorts! We also got some construction stuff or whatever you wanna call it for the house. Stuff that is hard to get in Canada.
Once we were done we went to Target, got some snacks, picked up supper at McDonalds! SO GOOD, haven't had Mcdicks in a LONG time! Then went back to our hotel to eat and RELAX!!
of course the is the first thing he will find or play with!
Adrian catching some zzz's!
Hayden discovering! He is the most curious little boy I have ever seen!
That night I decided that I need to go and do some "scouting". Which means go o my favorite store there and see the sales and clothes! That way the next day I will not waste anytime, get what I want/need and be outta there and have the rest of the day to shop with my family and hang out with them.
I went to Target, Kohls, Gordmans, and of course one of my favorites TJ Maxx's! I found some very good deals, and guess it helped that I preprinted coupons! The states has the best coupons! So much better then Canada! An example of this is, Adrian needed a dress shirt, tie and pants for the 10000 upcoming weddings we have this summer, so we went to Kohls to checks some stuff out, plus I had some coupons for Kohls!
Adrian found a dress shirt, tie and pants, and the total was something like 140 around there, and we only paid around 65$$ after all my coupons! I felt an extreme couponer! haha, not really, but I did feel like doing a happy dance!
Friday night we had a rought night with Hayden. He woke up at 1 in the morning, so we gave him a bottle and he went back to bed, no big deal, well then he woke up 3 and I don't know what he was thinking! He was ready to get outta bed and play! He was so happy, that you could be mad at him. So we let him play in our bed with us, and put cartoons on so we can get some half sleep.By the time 530 rolled around he was ready to go back to bed and slept till eight!
You would think that I would be extremely tired the next day, but I wasn't! I think it was all the adreline running through me to go shopping!
The next day we had breaky, and then went to do some shopping with my mom and sister! We tried on lots of clothes and looked at lots of things, and the best part was we had lots of good talks! That was the highlight of the trip! I loved having some mom/sister time! I think we need to do it more often, but it is kinda hard when they live 2 hours away. :(
I got lots of summer clothes! As my mom said, "I hauled pretty good". haha makes me sound like some kinda farmer or something.
I got 4 summer dresses, 2 cardigans, 3 pairs of earrings, a new shower curtain, makeup, nail polish, 2 tops, tights, a leopard scarf, bath and body lotions, soaps, and lip gloss (they have the best lip gloss ever), and I also got Hayden some books, pj's, sandels,and Adrian found the cutest most redneck jacket ever at Cabelas! It is camaflogue, and I will post pictures of him wearing it when it is clean! Hayden also got a bunch of stuff from Auntie Jaime (thank you!). Adrian and the boys (my brother, my dad, Hayden, my uncles and cousins) went to Cabelas and Sheels! Two big outdoor/sporting goods stores! Adrian finally found himself a putter, plus fishing stuff for this summer! In the evening we all came back from our own activities and Grandma and Grandpa ordered in pizza for all of us, and we just ate and hung out! It was fun and refreshing! After supper, my brother, Hayden and I went down to the pool. Hayden hated it, hence the reason that there are no pictures. First of all, the water was so cold, and the place echoed like crazy so it was very loud with all the kids screaming. So, his pool time lasted about 10 minutes, not even! We have taken him swimming before and he loved it, but I think he loved it the other times because it was warm and the place was quiet (the Clarion Hotel). The next morning we packed up, stopped in at Culvers with the family for lunch and was on our way!! It was such an awesome time and such a refreshing time to hang out with my family!! I love them all so dearly! I cannot wait for next year now!
