My Kind of Therapy: Vacation 2009!

We had a great vacation this year-not that we don't have fun every year! Gaston's never disappoints and this year we had Max to make it that much better. He was quite a trooper in the car-the 3 1/2 hour drive both ways was a test of his patience but he did great. It is easier to show than explain-so enjoy the pictures from our first family vacation/3rd wedding anniversary!

Helping mommy get our bags packed! Lots and lots of help-he was making sure the bag was big enough!

This is pretty much how he slept the first 2 hours of the trip! (Note that he had to take his socks off-he NEVER sleeps in his car seat until he pulls them off!)

He thought the squirrels outside were the coolest things ever-they were there just to entertain him and he couldn't understand why they ran away when he pounded on the window to talk to them!

Here are my boys just chillin in the cabin-probably the best thing about Gastons-we do lots of "chillin"!

Max helping Grandpa Mark get his fishing line ready to catch all the big fish-once again, he was a BIG help!

They have a bird "area" (for lack of a better word) and Max loved it! There were peacocks, pheasants, guineas and other pretty birds-some in the cages and others that are allowed to just wander around.

I just like this picture because we have one of my dad hugging a tree at close to the same age-Max had no interest in the tree-he is playing with a Sweetgum tree ball.

Max and Grandma Donna cheering on the Hogs in their Razorback gear-didn't help though :-(

Chowing down on Mommy's blueberry muffin-yum!yum! Note:the mark on his nose is from his attempt to crawl off the bed in the dark-quite unsuccessfully I might add!

We so rarely get a picture of all three of us together. Note:I look very short-since Max is mobile now I tend to go for flats instead of my normal heels. Oh well-I wouldn't trade it for the world!
