Roadtrip!!!

At seven weeks old, Ashton went on his first roadtrip! We drove in Grandma April's BIG truck all the way up to Montana and stayed for almost two weeks.

He did such a great job in the car! He made it all the way to Wisdom, MT before he decided he'd had enough of the car, but after a short break, he fell back asleep for the rest of the way home. It did have an adverse effect on him though...anytime we put him in the car for the next two weeks after that, he was NOT very happy about it!

Of course, as soon as we got to Montana he wanted nothing to do with me! All he wanted was for Grandma to hold him.

I only ever got to hold him when he was hungry or asleep!

If he ever realized that Grandma was not holding him, he would be quite stressed.

We had lots of fun, though. Ashton got to meet my friends, and he made his own new friend, Katie's 4-month-old, Christian! Here are some pictures of them hanging out at Katie's house:

We also went to the water park to play...but Ashton just slept in the shade with Grandma, of course, until we got home.

He much prefers showers over any old water park!

Mostly, though, we just enjoyed talking...

...and laughing...

...and relaxing. (Here's some "man time" with Uncle Patrick.)

Although, of course, Grandma made sure that Ashton met his first horse!

All in all it was a great trip! We missed Daddy a lot, though, so we were glad to come home. But we can't wait to see everyone again at Christmas!
