We made it
After a bit over 3 hours we made it to our destination with no problems. The traffic wasn't bad at all. When we headed out, it was raining at our house. We had rain for the first half of the ride, then it did clear up. At my grandparents, the sun was out, just really windy. We sure did shock them by coming down to visit. That felt great to do. My grandfather was out on his deck, and instantly smiled and was excited to see my daughter and myself. My grandmother was in the house working on dinner. We sent my daughter into the house and my grandmother started yelling in excitement. It was great, I think I even did see tears.
Their house is beautiful. They live in the country which is really nice. They have 4 acres total. My Uncle and Aunt live there in a seperate home. The afternoon was a bit rough with my daughter. Of course being 3 1/2 years old, she was bored. I took her for a walk down the street where they have horses. That made her happy. My youngest cousin arrived home a bit after 4pm. He was happy to see us as well. He instantly took my daughter out in the yard and had her running around chasing a baseball. She loved it, finally something fun to do.
That evening we had Fish, Pierogie Casserole and corn for dinner. It was great, I hadn't had pierogie casserole in years. After dinner we went out on their deck and were just relaxing.
My cousin came back outside and took my daughter out and played basketball with her. My Aunt and Uncle both came home from work and come over to chit chat.
It was a good day! Around 9pm I was even able to get onto my Uncle's wireless network and the daughter and I talked to Daddy. It was nice because I was able to turn on the cam and daddy got to see his lil Chickie.
Bedtime was not so fun. We brought my daughters princess cot along, however she really wasn't thinking that was a great idea. Luckily, my mom was able to find Spongebob on TV, so she was then happy. (They have satelite tv which we do not have, so it's a bit different for us).
The daughter finally felt asleep after midnight. My mother had no trouble going to sleep, so hearing her snoring was a bonus....Yeah right! I was awake till after 1am. I woke several times through out the night because I was hot. I heard my grandfather around 4am. He wakes throughout the night and will come out to his recliner. At around 7am I could hear him making eggs....Ahhh, so much for sleeping beyond 8am.
Today my grandmother has therapy, she has trouble walking so her doctor thought giving therapy wouldn't be a bad thing. It is really helping her lots!! Kudos to the doctor. After therapy we will go over to Sam's Club so my grandparents can stock up on things they need.
Hopefully today will be another good day! I am going to try to get some pictures today, so I may even post some up here!!
