road trip to south dakota: day 2, our "buffalo walk"







after dinner, we walked up and down main street and the girls got to take pictures with each other the beautifully decorated buffaloes. all was well until 8 pm, when amelia crawled into bed and scarlett refused to sleep. period. I took my turn driving so jeremy could sleep, she fell asleep in her carseat and made another easy transfer to her pack'n'play. However, she woke up screaming at 2 in the morning and we had the most eventful night of the trip. I took her driving again, and attempted to transfer her, but she refused. I decided to take her back to the car and just sleep with her outside. jer, not wanting us to be by ourselves outside in the middle of the night, got dressed to switch me, but shut the door to our room, leaving the three of us stranded outside and amelia snoozing away in her room. no one was at the front desk in this small town hotel, and neither of us had our phones, and I was just sick thinking about amelia waking up to nobody in the room. neither of us slept, and scarlett didn't make a sound. we talked about leaving the next afternoon-- if we weren't going to sleep, we might as well drive home, right? amelia woke up right before 6 am, and timidly popped the door open... we both rushed to her-- of course, she was fine, but very confused about what we were doing.

and that's how day 2 ended and day 3 began.
ah, adventures.
