Well, we made it through our first family vacation...Hooray!
Mike, Renner & I left Humble Thursday, June 5th for our first long car trip to South Padre Island for Mike's athletic trainer conference. The car ride went very well until the last hour or so when Renner became very restless. The trip down was by far better than we expected.
We spent days resting in the hotel room by playing on the playmat, watching Baby Einstein on the laptop & napping with Mommy in bed.
Friday morning while Mike was at his conference I "tried" to take Renner down to the beach. That was an experience. After lotioning both of us up, putting our bag together, walking quite a ways to the beach access I had to turn around before we ever could reach the sand. The stairs down to the beach were so steep there was no way I could take Renner down by myself. So, both of us, hot & sweaty, turned around, went back to the room & took a nap. That afternoon, with Daddy in tow, we walked down to the hotel pool for a few minutes. Then went to dinner with Uncle J, Aunt Steph & cousin Jayden. Renner was so good at dinner and had so much fun with his aunt, uncle & cousin.

Saturday, Mike, Renner & I all made it down to the beach for about 30 minutes. It was so hot and just not kid friendly for a child of Renner's age. After the beach we walked to the pool for quite a bit. That was real nice because only a handful of people were in the pool while we were there. Renner really enjoyed the pool. That evening we met up with J, Steph & Jayden again for dinner.
Sunday, ha ha ha, that was another story. Not a fun ride home. 10 minutes into our drive Renner started getting fussy. Sure enough, what I thought had happened...did. Renner had a massive poopy diaper. Mike had to pull over on the side of the road for a diaper change. The diaper change ended up being an outfit change too. He had poop all up his back and out of the top of his diaper. We probably went through 10 wet-wipes on that change. All the way home he was fussy and didn't take a good nap until we hit Sugarland and he slept all the way home from there.
Needless to say, it was quite the experience, and a pretty good one for a baby his age!
