This was Arabella's first competition and first car trip. It was Landon's 3rd. We all had fun! The kids did so great! It isn't really a kid friendly event since the during the singing there is suppose to be complete silence. I only had to leave once with Arabella. The rest of the time she slept or listened. When she was listening she was smiling frequently. Both Landon and Arabella seem to love the singing. Not that I blame them. It is so amazing listening to all of those men's( and some boys) beautiful voices.
Landon rode with his grandparents, Jamiie, and Jeremiah. Josh, Arabella, and I headed out a couple of hours later. We meant to leave shortly after they did but there was just too much to do. So we missed all of singing on Friday. Josh and I unfortunately missed out on a lot of singing. We loved what we heard.
We also were able to spend an hour or two at the pool which was so much fun!
A super exciting thing happened on Saturday while we were there. Arabella laughed for the first time! She was playing with Daddy. The fact that Daddy was able to see her laugh and was the reason for it made it even more perfect! He was holding her up in the air and then slowly bring her down towards him making silly sounds at the same time.
The trip was a great little vacation for us. Unfortunately and thankfully we had some car trouble on the way home. Our car actually broke down several miles past the turnpike. Josh and Dad W were able to get it running. Thankfully it was an easy solution and we were caravaning. I am up for my challenged as a mom but being strand even in town is not an experience I wish to add to my resume as mom.
**It is almost a week later and the car seems fine so hopefully the car will be good for us!**
So the car troubles aside it was a awesome trip!
