Weekend

So we headed to Pella IA for a wedding this weekend bright and early on Saturday morning. I never know how the girls will do in the car. I bring games and books and things to color and of course snacks, hoping it keeps them busy enough to make the 5hr trek. An hour or so down the road, Ellie says its taking forever to get there and I think, oh great here goes. Luckily Mark was in the back seat with the girls so he could keep them occupied and keep them semi busy.
I should explain that we rode with my parents in their van. The girls sit in the way back in their seats, leaving a small amount of room for another person. Me, being 8 1/2 months prego, am not about to crawl into the back seat to sit between two carseats. Guess who go that joy. Yep, Mark. He is the thinest so he got that joy.
At the wedding the girls were in awe of the whole thing. They did so well during the ceremony, but the reception was another deal. Ellie spilled punch only to get upset and cry. Then Chloe was trying to touch the centerpieces that were there which were small marble looking jelly ball things, NOT edible. The lunch lime took forever, so I was getting sick of hearing the girls complain so I budged in line and got them food. They ate about as much as a mouse, oh well we went out later for pizza.
Being in Pella is always fun when you get to visit the relatives. Namely my great aunts and uncles. They seem to know everyone in town and around Pella. My brother and I were saying we could listen to my aunts talk for hours cause its soo entertaining, even when we know no one they are talking about. I'm glad I have some relatives left in that area that can remind me of my grandparents!
The ride home was uneventful. We are glad to be back home. Well I guess I might take that back since I just looked outside to see the snow falling. It is Spring and we live in the midwest, so happy spring!
