Our Trip to West Virgina

The kids and I went to West Virginia to visit Dad and Hilde this past week. We left on Tuesday and came back Saturday. Just let me say, traveling alone with three children is not tons of fun (to say the least)! But honestly, the kids weren't that bad in the van. Sierra was a HUGE help with the little ones. If Levi started to fuss she would entertain him and keep him happy until we stopped. And she was constantly helping Sienna with her drink or snack. It would have been a very difficult journey without her!

The kids had a ton of fun at Dad's. Sierra got to ride the 4-wheeler with Dad. And she loves to stress the fact that she gets to drive. However, Levi is not Papaw's biggest fan!






On Wednesday we went to the New River Gorge Bridge. It's the second highest bridge in the US and the longest steel single arch span in the world. It was really neat to see but way too many steps for me to walk. Papaw and the girls walked down though.







Dad and Hilde took us to the beach on Thursday. You know my kids love the water! Papaw and Sienna built a sandcastle. Like always, I couldn't hardly get Sierra out of the water. She came out for lunch and then again when it was time to leave. Other than that, she was in the water. We saw Tiny and Butch at the campground. And Pam and Brandon were there also. Levi made instant friends with Brandon! But still, he wouldn't have anything to do with Papaw. Levi also made friends with Uncle Butch, but still nothing for Papaw.











After swimming and visiting we stopped for an ice cream. Levi has had ice cream before but he had never had his own cone to hold. Papaw gave him the cone and Levi devoured it. He was soooo happy with his cone!




Levi did finally make nice with Papaw a couple of times. I even managed to get a picture of Levi letting Papaw hold him at Granny Jean's.



We had a wonderful visit! It's always nice to get to see family that you don't see very often. The ride home wasn't too bad. The kids did really well but they get bored. I gave Sierra my camera to mess around with and she made a little video. I'll share a glimpse into my world with you! Notice the background of my van! You can't even see the floor! If that doesn't scream 1 adult with 3 kids I don't know what does!
