Hurry, Hurry Get to Nana's House




Everyone screaming! Even Baby Kennedy!



The best of friends!

Saturday morning we woke up early for a much anticipated trip to Nana's house! Eoin had been talking about it all week. He knew that we were going to see Nana on Saturday, he would say so, but although he can say the days of the week, he hasn't grasped the concept yet. When I told him it was Saturday and we were heading to Nana's house today he could barely contain his excitement!

We had a couple of stops on the way to see Nana (and McKaylah and Kennedy and Kelly) and Eoin fell asleep before our first one, which was Ikea, so I decided to stay in the car with him while Jordan has a pit stop at Bass Pro Shops (hunting season has begun and he has a new boat to outfit!). Eoin awoke while Jordan was still shopping. "Are we at Nana's house?" were the first words out of his mouth. I hated to disappoint the little man, but the next stop was Ikea and he LOVES it there. They do such a good job of making the store kid friendly. Although it was a quick run in and out (seriously, it can be done, even at Ikea!) we did let him play a little! Above are the pictures of him running through a fun play stop. After Ikea we had another short stop at Long Grove for some Irish sausages at the Irish Boutique and then on the Nana's House. Eoin has a song (sung to the tune of Hurry Hurry Drive the Firetruck) that we sing on the way to Nana's house, with verses for each person we are going to see! After many verses, we finally arrived!

After a very fun filled evening and an amazing dinner, the night was topped off with a bath with the kiddos! Eoin cannot get enough of McKaylah! He wanted to spend so much time with her, he skipped his nap! He also had a blast riding McKaylah's tricycle and playing outside with Kennedy and Nana (and wearing Nana out!).

I say this everytime we visit, but I truly wish we lived much closer!
