Well the ferry was full and we had to drive the long way to SJ. It took forever (left at 12pm and arrived final destination at 8pm), and we had one puker (sabi rae) but we stopped 3/4 way and had an awesome lunch that was complete with playground for kids and finished off with ice cream cones. Our hotel was super comfy and we slept amazing. Both girls were easy peasy traveling and good sports the entire way. Man o man they made a momma and dada proud!! Here’s a mix of pics from our ride to SJ, hotel, and morning before our flight to houston.

Sophie has been asking for hamster for xmas. WIll has been telling her maybe it isnt so nice b/c they have to stay in a cage all the time and will get bored. Then she saw a hamster playing at the park. Yup, a girl brought her pet hamster to the park and it was running free playing. Looks like Will is going to have to switch up his argument now. He has gone the poop everywhere route since then and sophie countered with a diaper solution. Then he went with who would take care of it when we are out of town and sophie volunteered Ashley. Hahahaha. He still has about 6 months.

His row…

My row…

All in a night’s work. What i dont have a picture of is the insane sky last night that was crystal clear and full of stars! We all stood in the bathroom, turned the lights off and stared at the sky in awe. Next time it is that clear we are heading to the beach at night to take it all in.

and these two are from two other days with Ash (one from last fun friday at Bob’s house and another from Charlie and the Chocolate factory party at Ashley’s house). These kids have the life!!

Pretty little princess went to the salon. I drove the girls there on the quad so it didn’t look like this for very long. The entire quad ride home she tried to hold her hair so it wouldnt mess up but alas she lost her curls with her stubborn straight hair. Oh how i wish i had her stubborn straight hair. I drive the quad and my hair curls, knots and puffs out in an instant.
