to the farm!

Karen, Liam, and Peyton decided to escape the triple digit weather in DC and head to WV for the 4th! So with Grandma in tow we headed over the mountains. Unfortunately, 2 hours into the trip the air conditioning in Karen's car broke...so the rest of the trip (all 6 hours) was spent with windows cracked on the interstate, Peyton crying, and Grandma and Karen melting. We had to stop about every hour to get Peyton out of her seat, cool her down, feed her, etc....Liam was such a trooper! He napped, read books, drew pictures, and watched a movie without a complaint. Needless to say we ended up staying in WV a little longer than originally anticipated....some believe that Grandma tampered with the AC or bribed the dealership to back order the part for Karen's car to accomplish this... :-) we were just happy we got some extra time with them!

What great pictures! Love the one of Liam and Dad walking...and LOVE that he's wearing his "big brother" shirt. I was wondering if it fit...I was afraid the 2T would be too small since he's bigger than Hannah and got the 3T hoping that he wouldn't be swimming in it!
