We finally did it....after many weeks of anticipation and planning, we woke our kids up at 2 am, hopped in the car and drove through the early am hours until we made it to Wilmington, NC (about 11 hours later)...home of Dawson's Creek, the setting of many Nicholas Sparks books, and of course...the home of the cutest little 3 month old girl, our niece, Hadley Reagan!
She was worth the (very long) car ride....just look at this face! She is such a happy, mellow little girl and just a delight to be around.
The kids absolutely adored their newest little cousin.
Grayson playing peek-a-boo with Hadley
We enjoyed Hadley cuddles, but also got some cuddles from their boxers, Sadie and Bodie, as well.
And story time with Uncle Brett (note the book title!) This was not a personalized book...it really exists. It's a story about a girl named Hannah Levine who is learning about Passover : )
They also had lots of play time...
and toys thanks to their 4 year old neighbor : )
and they were thrilled to be on a beach in April
While Hadley snoozed away in her stroller.
Avery and Gray were happy to share a room and bed there. They were exhausted by the end of each day.
Here we all are before we left...all except Sadie!
We had planned to drive half way home and stay at hotel, but the kids were actually pretty great on the way home so we just drove straight through and made it home on Sunday night.
It helped that Grayson finally napped....
and that Mommy bought lots of dollar stores treats like these gooey bugs to keep them entertained.
Can't wait to see this sweet face again in a few weeks when Hadley and Aunt Jenny come to Bethlehem!
Thanks for hosting us Aunt Jenny and Uncle Brett!!
We hope you enjoyed the quiet after our noisy kids left!
