On Tuesday of last week we got the unfortunate call that DeA's Grandma Jean had passed away. We bought DeA a ticket for the next day so that she could be there as soon as possible.
Luckily my mom and dad were driving down to the Oregon Coast on Friday, so they took the boys halfway to Kelso. After work I drove down and met them and the next day we finished the trip.
The little guys did pretty well, but about three hours into the five hour trip started asking to run around. And anyone that's roadtripped with kids knows that kids don't ask once and then trust that you'll follow through. They ask every freaking second of every dang minute until you pull over. So we did.
The burst of exercise seemed to do them a lot of good.
Jensley was loving all the alone time with Mommy, Grandma and Lindsey, so she wasn't sure how she felt about the boys showing up.
But she is also a baby, so maybe she didn't know what was going on at all.
All of the cousins started to show up after we got there, and there was lots of attention to go around. This is Val's son (I cannot remember his name and DeA is still in Oregon) and the boys reading a riveting story.
I flew home on Monday while DeA and the boys enjoy being around family. This is Rocko with his new best friend who is also the little brother of Dustin's girlfriend. Her name is Marissa and I think his name is Steven. But it also might be Thomas or Jwaquon. Either way they have been playing together like little champs.
They look like they are having a great time. J looks like she knew the boys were inbound by that expression.
