The inlaws live in Oklahoma and seeing as we are now in Pennsylvania, it is impossible for Kaleb to see his Nanny and Papa like he used to be able to. We finally managed to arrange for them to spend some time with them and Kaleb was excited beyond belief, he started counting down at "30 days to go" LOL
We set off over a week and a half ago to Missouri, which was the meeting point to drop Kaleb off with Papa.
Kaleb was great on the drive, his had his table to entertain him, music, some toys and his colouring books & crayons. Only thing that stopped us from getting there faster were the constant pee breaks LOL. After 2 days we finally made it there, went to hubbys bosses house for lunch, let his lil boy and K play for a few hours. Papa met us there too and then it was time for them to leave back to Oklahoma.
K said his goodbyes to daddy, daddys boss, wife and kids & then it was my turn for goodbyes, didn't go the way I had planned. I put him in the carseat in papas truck and when I went to get cuddles and a kiss, Kaleb looked at me, begrudgingly gave me a kiss and said "Go home mum, just go home" - lol the little bugger!!! It upset me but I didn't let him see it. Papa and K drove off, we said goodbye to hubbys boss, wife & kids and then we were on the road.
My weather app on my phone is also set to notify me about Oklahoma weather and it went off .... that is when the worry started!!!
Storms were popping up all round the OKC metro and quickly turning into bad tornadoes heading FOR the metro.
I was texting, voxering & calling people, the whole time I was going in and out of shitty reception. A tornado hit very close to where we were living, did some damage to family and friends places in Yukon, nothing massive but still too close for everyones comfort.
Papa ended up driving through and not stopping just to get back to Oklahoma and make sure that everyone was ok.
We finally got back to PA and then about 1-2 days later we headed off to NY - that is another post all together!
We ended up having to cut our NY trip short as one of papas dogs Eddie was very sick and had to be put down & kaleb was very attached to him, so we ended up going back to Missouri to meet with papa and pick up K so that K wasn't there for the fallout when it happened. It would have been nice to have a little more time to ourselves but hopefully we have other chances before the end of summer!!
