First Family Road Trip

The day Steve has been talking about since the day Ava was born finally came! We took our first family road trip out to the deer lease with daddy. We rented a trailer and a spot at an RV park near the lease. Ava had a blast in the trailer and was just as happy as she could be. We were so nervous about the ride there since she hates the car, but we got a DVD player and put on Strawberry Shortcake and Elmo and she was good to go! She did have one meltdown on the way there, but quickly fell asleep and took a long nap.

When Steve was not hunting we went to Fredricksburg and did some eating and shopping. There was a cute little toy store and as soon as Ava saw Elmo she went nuts over it. Naturally we bought it for her and she toddled around with it all weekend. If we took her outside to explore, she wanted to go back in and get her "melmo" to go with her. I still think Elmo is baby crack.

She was so excited about the new place and the new trailer that she didn't want to sleep (big surprise). We finally just gave in and let her stay up. We were on vacation after all. I would finally get her to bed and as soon as my head hit the pillow Steve's alarm was going off for him to go hunting. Then as soon as I was back to sleep after that, she was up. Mama is tired!

Anytime an animal makes a peep, Ava says they are "Bad, Bad, Bad" A bird would chirp outside and she'd say "bad bad bad" dogs can't bark, cats can't meow and now birds can't chirp.
