We left for our family vacation on August 5th. We got up at 4am and drove to Colorado all in one looong day. The morning started a bit rough, the kids didn't go back to sleep as well as we thought they would and then Nora puked before 6am. After that things went pretty smoothly and we made it to my mom and John's in Colorado! I believe it took us about 15 1/2 hours with only 3 stops. Pretty darn good time with 4 kids and a dog!
We only spent 2 days with Grandpa and Naunie, but we had a fun time. Of course we had to go to the American Girl Doll store while we were there! The girls got something there from Naunie (Sophie got two kittens for her doll Lainie and Nora got Kit's scooter), and the boys got something from the Disney store (Wesley got a Buzz Lightyear and Miles got a spiderman shooter thingy) Also, Brian's hard drive had to get replaced and we were pretty lucky they were able to do it at the Apple store in the short time we were there! Thursday we drove to Castle Dale, Utah. It's a beautiful drive and the kids were in awe of the MOUNTAINS we saw on the way. And the 7 tunnels we drove through were a big hit as well!
We stopped to see my Aunt Deb in Grand Junction. She's my mom's sister and we loved our quick stop to see her there. Next time I think Sophie will be taller than her - although she is super short so that's no saying too much!
Our next stop was to see my Grandpa and Grandma Anderson in Wellington. Wesley thought this fake little boy was funny.
We fulfilled one of Brian's life long dreams to stop at Green River and buy an official Green River Watermelon. It was yummy. Scooter thought it made a nice pillow!
