Adventures

The kids and I made our first trip to Abilene this morning. It was a bit of an adventure only because I didn't study my map as well as I should have before I left. It all turned out fine though. I miraculously ended up where I needed to be and then we went on to Walmart. FYI, Abilene has the biggest Walmart I've ever been in. It's new and very clean. Jaxson helped me with our shopping, and Rachel helped by being very cheeful and having fun. I even let Jaxson get a gel filled "Scooshy Ball" at the check out. Of course everyone can relate to having to learn the layout of a new Walmart.
I was a little nervous about the trip home due to the fact that we were loading up for the forty-five minute trip home right at Rachel's lunch time. Thanks to a teething biscuit though it was just fine. We only had to make two stops. I noticed a bee trying to get out of the back window as soon as we got on the highway so I had to stop and let it out. The second stop came when I heard Jaxson say, "Look mommy, an elephant!" I looked back to find the scoosh dripping out of the scooshy ball. Thankfully it was a very easy clean up. I can't say the same for Rachel and the teething biscuit, but I knew that was going to happen. It was either a biscuit covered baby or a forty-five minute miserable car trip.
Oh, I have another addition to the Jaxsonism list. A "tickle box" is a tackle box to the rest of us.
