After a fairly uneventful trip, we arrived at Melanie's new house. We were the first to arrive, but we were soon joined by the rest of my sisters and their families. The kids immediately went to the bounce house, while the parents sat down to socialize. Of course, with TONS of kids running around, it is difficult to talk without TONS interruptions! We had lunch, talked, played with the kids, etc. all afternoon. It was SO good to see everyone, especially since we are spread out over several states and this is the one of only two times a year we see each other.
After all the kids were done with bouncing, we all headed to the hotel for a pizza dinner and swimming. Unfortunately, poor Preston was not up for swimming, so Carl stayed with him and tried to get him to sleep, while I took Evan to swim with the other kids. Afterwards, Levi and Evan had a special sleepover and I stayed up to talk to John and Terri for awhile,. Unfortunately, I came back to see that Preston was still awake and unhappy. I ended up getting him to calm down and sleep by cuddling him in the bed with me, but he was restless the whole night and unfortunately, neither of us slept well. Oh well! You can't win 'em all!
The next morning we had breakfast with our friends and then headed home. We were so sad to leave, but it helped to know that we would be seeing Congletons again in just two weeks!
Evan is enjoying soccer this year. He has improved since last year and is a really good sport! Go Evan!
"Yay!"
Evan was pumped to be on the road and on the way to see our friends!
