Danilo's first road trip

***Ver más abajo para la traducción en español: Primer Viaje de Danilo.***

This weekend, we took a road trip to Red River, NM to see this family!

WARNING - This blog is going to have a

ridiculous number of pictures in it.

They were just all too good!

And after all... this is my online scrapbook - so I think pictures are in order.

First, I had to pack. Wow, packing when you have a little one takes on a whole new meaning.

Especially when packing cloth diapers. Stay tuned for how the cloth diapering is going… Preview: I LOVE it! But there is only one downfall, and that is the bulk. His tooshie is a little bulkier with the cloth diapers. Traveling with them isn’t difficult, so long as you have access to a washing machine wherever you’re going, except that 24 cloth diapers take up way more space than 24 disposables. If we were going to Disneyworld I would definitely travel with disposables. Not that we’re really thinking of going to Disneyworld anytime soon! :( But back to the subject.

Next, we got on the road…

See how excited Danilo is to be on the road? Don't worry. He settled down as soon as we got moving.

The funniest picture never got taken. We were driving along the highway and we passed an old white van going very slowly. In the back window, installed with duct tape and bungee cords, was a window air conditioning unit …you know, the ones that go in houses! I almost peed. Ok, not really. But it was pretty funny.

We arrived after their kids were already passed out. We slept up in the loft, where we had a view down into the kiddos' room. Check out these two! Really, how does one sleep with another's foot planted on their cheek?

We did lots of hanging out and resting. I am not in hardly any pictures because, well, I spent virtually the entire weekend in pajamas. Ha!

Toby (our dog) got LOTS of attention! Particularly from Bay Bit!

Alejandro and Papa Bear went and tasted chili at the town Chili Cook-off, while Kingdom Mama and I hung out with the kiddos and… well, we talked. And blogged. And talked some more. :) It was fabulous.

Danny had his first (and certainly not last) oatmeal bath. Yes, that is the kitchen sink. And yes, that is a popcorn bowl. Yes, he still fits. :)

We even got Danny's smile on camera for the first time! (Although I'm still waiting to catch the one that looks like he's about to squeal!)
Sunday morning, Kingdom Mama made the most amazing home-made chocolate doughnuts! Every, ahem, kid had chocolate on them!

Sunday afternoon we all went for a walk into town.

We took the kids to play at, not one, but two parks...

...and ended the day with ice cream for everyone!

I think you missed some, Little Prince!

All in all, we had an AMAZING time! Thanks guys, for hosting our four-some for the weekend! Sometime, we'll have to return the favor!
