Keith left work early on Friday and we hit the road around 2:00. We figured if we left right after feeding Ella Kate then it would make the trip a little easier and she would fall asleep (which of course she did). We made one stop around 4:00 to give the little miss a bottle and then finished out trip and got to my parents around 5:45. We were very surprised at how easy of a trip it was and were very glad that she slept the whole way there! We were a little scared that with all of that sleeping that she wouldn't sleep Friday night, but she was a champ and actually slept better than she had in 3 nights.
Saturday the boys went and played golf and mom and I did what we do best, SHOP! Ella Kate was a great shopper and either slept or looked around the whole time we were out. We even got her a few new outfits for being so good! Saturday afternoon Nebraska played Texas so we just hung out at home and watched the game with my dad (which was very disappointing for him). Saturday evening Brad, Courtney, and Easton came over for dinner and to hang out which was great since we don't get to see them that often. Below is actually the only picture I took all weekend. It is the first two Dicke great grandchildren (Courtney is pregnant with #3)! Unfortunately Ella Kate wouldn't stay still so she is a little blurry... who would have thought it would be easier to get a 3 year old to sit still than a 5 week old!
Sunday we hung out at home for the morning and then went to eat at Nico Nico's, the best greek restaurant EVER! Keith and I were so glad to get greek food since you can not find it in Tyler! We headed back around 2:00 and again the trip was extremely smooth! I sure hope Ella Kate is such a good traveler when she gets older. Thanks Granny and Poppi for letting us come and visit!
