Mommy, daddy and I headed out for Missouri later than planned. We were supposed to leave on Christmas Eve but the snow slowed us down. So on Christmas Day we decided to head out. Boy was that a LONG, SLOW day in the van. It was nearly white-out conditions through the entire state of Kansas. Good thing my daddy is an awesome driver and that no one else was as dumb as us and out and about that day! We contimplated driving all the way to Ma-Pa and Grandpa Chinn's house that night but after it took us 9 hours to get to Saint Joseph, MO we decided to call it a night/day and get a hotel room! 9 hours is what the entire drive usually takes. Saint Joseph is still another 2.5 hours from Ma-Pa and Grandpa Chinn's house. So we got a room at the Stoney Creek Inn and it was a lot of fun. After being cooped up in the van all day, I got to run around the hotel and stay up really late....definitely WAY past my bedtime and it was so much fun. By the end of the evening, I had everyone at the hotel wrapped around my little finger! SUCKERS!
Of course, anytime we stay at a hotel, daddy and I have to wrestle on the bed. So much fun to "get gettered" on the bed!
Some more of our wrestling action! I like to call this move the "tackle daddy in my grizzly bear pajamas" move! He never sees that one coming! :)
Here my daddy is holding on to my foot while I play on the bed. It didn't help this time though....I still managed to fall off the bed in our hotel room and hit my head on the nightstand. Mommy calmed me down and she said thank goodness it was bedtime anyway! So we all went to bed and got plenty of sleep for the next day and our arrival at Ma-Pa and Grandpa Chinn's house! Disclaimer: I now call my Grandma Chinn, Ma-Pa. Whenever daddy would say, "Do you want to go see Grandma Chinn?" or "Are we at Grandma Chinn's house?," I would say "Ma-Pa!" So that's her new name!
