We packed the car up the night before we left, so we woke the girls up early and put them in the car in their jammies. Our first stop of the day was in Shrevport, LA. We decided to make it a long stop and eat breakfast at IHOP. I put the girls in their new outfits from our friend Lynnea and after the girls ate they were allowed to open the other present from her. Road trip fun!
We made it all the way to Atlanta, GA on the first leg of our journey. We stopped for the night and got the girls to bed as soon as possible. The next morning Amelie decided to use the hotel room as a demolition derby for her head. She still has no safety filter! She hit the coffee table and had a little goose egg going so I had to rig up our freezer pack from the cooler.
She was not impressed.
Then Nadia decided that she needed to pose in pain too.
Once the medial treatment was over we packed up the car.
We headed for Amy’s house to stay the night and let the kids play. They were one of the families in our travel group for Nadia. They are now waiting on a little girl that is basically Amelie’s “hand twin”. We are so excited for them. The kids played and played and played. Mike let the kids take some photos with our new underwater/shock proof camera.

That night they invited another family over with their kids and we all had a wonderful time!!! Mike has quite a few photos on his other camera and I will get those up in a future post. We have some shots of all 10 kids together.
This was the first time that Nadia had a sleep over. Even though we were downstairs it was still a new thing for her to be up in Jaida’s room. The next day she said, “We played some more while you were sleeping.” She was so proud. That just made me laugh. The kids got up and instantly started playing some more. We had a leisurely breakfast and packed up to make our way to Myrtle Beach. We were having so much fun that I didn’t want to leave and neither did Nadia. She kept saying, “When will I see my friend Jaida and Xin again? Are they coming to our house?”
Cuteness overload!! Seriously!
Then her late night caught up to her once we were on the road 🙂
