Our road trip to see Nora!!

Hey gals!
So Nick and I headed east to finally hook up with Nora and Adam yesterday. Let me say what a fun day it was! Nora rocks and Adam is just the sweetest little thing. I felt right at home and once I got Nick out of the car, he was very comfortable too! I think the fact that Nora made cookies helped :). We actually took the boys to this awesome pumpkin farm (tourist trap..lol!) for some major sensory overload, I'm sure she is still digging hay out of her shirt. They rolled in hay and corn bins, we took a tractor hayride, they climbed on pumpkin bins and she even pulled off the amazing and got the boys to sit still for a micro second so we could snap a picture! Nick could have almost passed for an NT kid except at the end when he went into stimulation overload (he had had enough). A couple of weeks of prep for this trip had paid off. He was very well behaved, I was proud, add to the fact that he was so excited for this trip and I think was very comfortable with Nora and Adam. So happy meals and chilli (which ROCKED) later and the boys were even playing chase around the house, screaming like little girls...priceless! I keep hearing Adam saying Boo Nick...too darn cute. Nick (and I) cant wait to see them again...Nick actually asked if we could come back tomorrow!

A few pics are attached..enjoy!

PS...all the good behavior from Nick, I knew there was a catch, it has been meltdown city today! One right after another, I have been called everything but a white girl, it is 3:12 and he is still in his pj's, passed out for nap, the house is a mess...ahh, but at least he was good yesterday !!

Oh honey I (we) had a blast too. I wish all my ASD moms could come out and play with us. Adam woke up and asked if Nick was here LOL


I showed my DH our pix and my hard drive for my memory stick is broken (my fault) so soon as I get a picture disk made, I'll upload my pix of our event.


I was VERY proud of how the boys behaved..........my son NEVER plays with kids like that on that level so I was elated!!!!!


Hugs to you, sorry you have a meltdown kinda day but at least you are doing it at home instead of 3 hrs from home KWIM?


Love
me
