Last Thursday we decided we would make a super short trip up to my family for the weekend. We left Friday afternoon after Dave got off his last call of the day. Cohen was a pretty awesome little traveler even though the drive took a little longer due to weather/car things but we made it. He took off with my dad as soon as we got there and they were at the park together for a solid hour. He LOVES spending time with Papa doing anything. My mom, Jessy and I ran to Target to pick up a baby monitor since I forgot half of ours and while we did that Dave put Cohen to bed. After we got back Dave and I went and saw the newest X-Men movie in the theaters. It was great to get to go and do a little date just the two of us since we hadn't done that since our visit to my family's house in December. When we got back Cohen was up and had been up for a couple of hours unfortunately but luckily he was happy and playing with Papa and Mama.

That morning we slept-in (which is pretty rare for Cohen to sleep past 8 am these days) then we got ready and headed to the Point Defiance Zoo. We all had a lot of fun looking at all the animals. Cohen LOVES looking at animals, so long as they don't pop up right by the glass. The zoo also has a mini aquarium in it too which was a cool feature and something Cohen loved even though he was up way past his nap time and getting tired. When we finally left the zoo Cohen fell asleep pretty much right away in the car and slept all the way until we got to the church distribution center/Deseret Book Store where my mom and I dashed into. After that we stopped in the Isaquah Costco where Dave, Cohen and I did the sample rounds while everyone else was busy shopping. After we finally got home (at like 5pm) my dad and mom got started on dinner. Luckily they had picked up a rotisserie chicken so "Thanksgiving Dinner" was pretty easy to make up. We all scarfed down our food which was FANTASTIC. My mom and I went to Khol's while Dave once again put Cohen to bed. Sadly, once again Cohen had woken up after not being asleep for super long, but with snuggles and the fan going he was able to go back to sleep.

Sunday morning was a little rough for Cohen because he threw up a couple of times but he only ever did it after drinking a ton of water. Luckily he only did it the two times and seemed much better pretty quickly. He was jealous though when we were all eating our tasty breakfast and he couldn't have it. Other than that we just enjoyed our Sunday morning with everyone before we all took off. 10 mins before 1 rolled around we all loaded up into our different cars so my family could go to church and we could head back home. Cohen fell asleep not even 5 mins into the drive and was out good until we had about an hour and a half left to go. He wasn't super excited to be in the car after waking up but with lots of rounds of "The Itsy Bitsy Spider", "If You're Happy and You Know It", and other classic little hand motion songs we finally made it home.
