A little Adventure/Disaster!

So Ryan had his first interview at a residency program on Thursday at Grand Rapids. They paid for a room for him to stay in overnight since there is a dinner the night before the interview. We thought we'd take a little family trip so the kids and I went. Unfortunately, the room was at a bed and breakfast not a hotel, and other med students were staying there as well. I thought we'd be fine but what I what I didn't take into account are two very important things:
1. Marissa is not a quiet child. Even just her talking voice is loud.
2. Devon actually does cry when I put him to bed sometimes - I just don't notice that much because I ignore him and then he usually falls asleep pretty quickly.

What this resulted in was getting after Marissa at night for simply talking, picking up Devon when he made the slightest whimper, and all of us very tired the next day.


However, we still all had fun that night watching "Anastasia" on Ryan's computer, and then the kids and I went to the mall in Grand Rapids during Ryan's interview.



At the mall, I took the kids to play on the rides. Devon thought he was pretty big!




The steering and the floor of the car were at the perfect distance for Devon to grab onto the wheel and pull himself up, which he thought was pretty neat!
