Wearing the Kids Out

We did two activities without Gavin's birth family in order to kill time and get some energy out before crashing at the hotel. The zoo in the city we were staying at had a dinosaur exhibit. We didn't have time for the zoo, but we ran to see the dinosaurs. Dallin loves dinosaurs right now, so this was a hit (and honestly, he was a little scared.)




We also walked along the river after dinner Monday night. Dallin enjoyed having some freedom and running around.


We took two days to get out to Tennessee in order to give the boys some breaks while we were driving. Zane was determined to make it back in one day. He felt like driving 14 hours in a car was better than one more night at a hotel fighting the boys to go to bed. He was right. We survived with non stop movies for Dallin and constant changing of toys for Gavin. Luckily, Gavin also slept really well on the way back. He was exhausted from all the attention and lack of sleep. Zane and I were especially grateful to have our bed to ourselves that night and the boys in their own rooms where they couldn't wake each other up! The fun parts of vacations...
