A wedding, a wasp sting and Moody Gardens

We went down to League City to celebrate cousin Melanie getting married. The trip down to Houston took 6 hours thanks to crazy summer construction! G&G tolerated it great-such troopers. Thankfully the new pilot has a dvd player for entertainment. The wedding was so nice, at least what we saw of it. Greg had to make a quick escape with Grayson before the bride walked down the isle. I got to see the new husband say "I do" and then Gavin got fussy and wanted to run in the isles. Greg and I met up in the preschool class at the church and allowed the boys to play. We laughed about it and felt sorry for G&G trapped in their car seats for 6 hours then to be expected to sit still in a church...just not feasible or reasonable! We did manage to stay at the reception for about an hour. Thankfully they had goldfish and m&m's for the kids to snack on. As we were leaving I was stung by a wasp (my first time to ever be stung by a flying insect). The sting stunned me and hurt like *&^%!After visiting with Uncle Chuck and his lovely family we finally made it to the hotel room and managed to have the G&G bathed and in their jammies by 11PM. Between Grayson being restless in the crib the hotel provided for us and Gavin sleeping like a wild monkey, and OH yea, the party goers across the hall, I think we managed to get 2 hours sleep. Can you say ZOMBIE!? The next day we ventured to Galveston and went to Moody Gardens and the beach. Both were nice places and I do think G&G had fun amidst the "I'm exhausted tantrums" (no not from Greg and I although we did consider it!)

Overall, traveling with a almost 3 year old and a 1.5 year old is difficult coupled with massive sleep deprivation is just torture. Greg and I both agreed though that the sweet moments cuddling with the boys and interesting conversations with them filled with giggles defiantly made the trip worth it!
