Tricked Ya

After getting home yesterday from our trip to New Mexico, the summer tour was over. But today, we climbed in the car and headed to Orlando for the Spiritual Growth Workshop, a bi-annual lectureship hosted by several churches in Florida.

This was the longest drive with Caleb in the car. Mom and Caleb came and picked me up mid-afternoon and we headed north. Caleb did well in the car. He slept about half way there. He woke up and started crying and we were about 10 miles from a rest area, so we had to let him suffer for a few minutes before we could get off the road and attend to him.

Once he had a clean diaper and something to eat, we got back on the road. He went back to sleep pretty quickly and made it most of the way to the hotel. We pulled up to the hotel just after the worship time started and we went straight into worship. Mom had only sat down for a couple of minutes before Caleb started getting fussy. Mom took Caleb to the back of the room and ended up sitting in the baby refuge camp with a bunch of other mother's congregating at the back so their children would not disturb other attendees.

I know we've really thrown Caleb off with our trips the last couple of weeks. So we figured a couple more nights on the road can't hurt him.
