We left the house 4:45, bright and early. The kids did not go back to sleep, they were far to excited. We spent the whole day driving and made it to Idaho at 8:30. The girls are amazing travelers and do great in the car. They spent the whole day watching movies. They watched Barbie Mermaid Tale at least 3 times. When we were at a rest stop they were "surfing" on the picnic table.
Day 2
The girls got their ears pierced! They were so excited to get to do it together. We had a guy who works at a tattoo shop come to Robin and Stephenie's house to do it. He was great! Alexis was insistent that she was going to go first. When he was taking her earrings out of the box one of the pearls fell off the post. She was devastated that she wasn't going to be able to get her ears pierced. Luckily Stephs sister saved the day by offering her real diamonds for Alexis to use. She did pretty good with getting them pierced, she of course cried and carried on for a while, which was expected from her. Come to find out later that most her crying was just because she wanted her "pearlies". Ellie was second and took it like a champ. Not a tear was shed. She just simply said Owie. Last to go was our niece, she like Alexis cried. After a few minutes all 3 were off playing and glad they got it done.

We kind of look like horrible parents... K loves her ear rings now. When she gets hurt I ask her what hurts more your owe or getting your ears pierced?
