North Dakota

This Memorial Day we made the road trip to North Dakota.  Esme does pretty well on the drive, but the girl will not sleep.  We usually leave St. Michael at about 5am thinking she'll sleep a bit.  Nope, never happens.  So we have lots of things to entertain her, including M&M's.

Esme was super happy to finally get to New England.  You would think the last thing she would want to do is get in another car.  But she discovered hanging out in Papa's pick up which is a lot more fun.  She loved it!  They spent quite almost an hour out there!

She was taking the CD in and out of the CD player, pushing the garage door opener and wreaking havoc with his stereo system.

Lately Esme likes to do her own hair with headbands.  When we stopped in Fargo to walk around and give her a break from the car we went to Target.  Starbucks for mommy and snacks and headbands for Esme.  Later she modeled for us!

While we were home Esme, Aaron and Papa took the dogs up to the school playground.  Esme got Papa to play, but there was no way he was giving up his bottle!

Cricket and Kaiser even had fun.  They love to chase each other.  Mostly Kaiser chases Cricket, but if he stops and she's not ready to be done she will run up and attack him until he chases her again!

I just love this action shot of Kaiser not touching the ground

We left New England on Monday morning and headed for home.  The first thing Esme did was ask for her pillow and this is what she did.

It looked promising, but it wasn't.  That lasted about 10 seconds after I took the picture.  She was awake the whole way home!  As usual, she did pretty well.  Thank goodness!
