Okoboji

Sullivan and I took our first road trip yesterday, and it actually went really well. Dave was on call for the night and several of my friends were meeting there for a bbq, so I bit the bullet and made the drive. I was super anxious about how things would go, and much to my satisfaction, Sully was a trooper. There were a few minutes of tears on the way over, and a full blown tantrum on the way home, so I pulled into the parking lot of Vic's Corner, nursed him, put his jammies on and got back on the road. The rest of the trip went great, I didn't hear a peep until we pulled into the garage. Success! I have a feeling we will have a lot of day trips to Okoboji in our future.

We went over a few hours early to spend some time with the Olivers. It was hot. Sully spent his time in the boat (under the canopy) with his Uncle Jeff so I could hunt for rocks in the lake with Isaac. Jeff did a stellar job, I think Ill use him again as a babysitter in the future ;).

We then went to the bbq where we met four of my friends, their husbands and kids. It was wild! Lots of kiddos. I was excited to introduce Sully to the kids and their parents as Im sure their paths will continue to cross throughout their lives.

We got home at about 10pm and went straight to bed for (almost ;)) the rest of the night.
