After many years of anticipating the arrival of CARS 2 (the movie), it was finally the day to go see it! It was opening week, and we were so excited!
While waiting for the afternoon matinee to begin, we spent the morning racing our cars (Many morning and in between time was spent doing this)
Elliot loved to chase them too!
And Lorelei, was just a delighted to be outside with her brothers.
This day they tried to build a ramp going over the top of the stairs, so fun to watch them learn and figure things out.
We had to drive to a bigger town (about 35 minutes away) to go see it, and along the way, thanks to a tip from our friends (Thanks Madsens!), we stopped to see Mater!
(Elliot talked about this for WEEKS afterwords, daily I’d hear about ‘my friend Mater’)
We saw the show, and all the kids did really great! Lorelei slept thru most of it, Elliot fell asleep at the end, and Tuck and Tru just kept leaning over and asking us questions (The plot was kind of hard to follow for them.)
That evening, we stopped by Walmart to pick out a special toy, Elliot got some Lightening McQueen Squinkies, Lorelei a baby doll, Truman a nerf gun, and Tucker some mighty beans. Fun to see what they chose!
We stopped for dinner at a Frontier Restaurant, and started the drive back to the cabin, where the older kids and parents continued the card stacking competition!
(As you can see, Dad won! 🙂 )
I love the care-free-ness being on vacation! 🙂
