Every year, we go on a family vacation with the Peel’s and Lewis’ (Jared’s sister and her family). We usually go to the beach or mountains, but this year, because we had two 3 month infants, we decided to go to Lake LBJ. It was fun and a little lot chaotic! Maybe because I make it that way. But it was worth it.
There was a little lot of anxiety for this trip. We left on a Wednesday, so all day Monday and Tuesday, were spent preparing and packing for the trip. I have always been called an “over packer” for myself so you can imagine the amount we had times 4. Whether it is one night away or 1 week away, one suitcase is never enough. (I wish I took a picture of the tahoe packed down but I had other things on my mind.) 1 large suitcase, two over night bags, one large bag for each baby, a snack bag, an entertainment bag (books, magazines…) a cooler, baby bag, the pump and a bag with all those parts, my nursing pillow, pack n play, 2 bouncy chairs, stroller, Jared’s golf clubs, monitors and cameras, and our two pillows. Zoey had to sit out on this vacation and good thing, because there was no room for her.
The usual 4 hour trip to Austin took us 6 hours for various reasons; traffic, 2 babies, then 2 hungry babies, then 2 sleepy babies, and so on. And because the boys REFUSE to take a bottle, when it is feeding time on the road, we have to pull over and let me nurse. :) I have to crawl in the back and rearrange the tahoe in order for us to have enough room. So glad Jared is patient.

Snuggle time with Granna
We thought these chairs would be cute to take the boys’ picture, Granna was there to catch them in case they slid
