The road trip out wasn't so bad. One instance of puking - Campbell commented on how colorful it was thanks to the Fruit Loops. My month long preparation of trinkets and toys was a HUGE success resulting in very little crying or fussing or fighting on our 8 long days in the car. We only watched a handful of movies the entire time. The biggest winners, which were quite a surprise, was coloring in a US map of the states we had driven through and finding all 50 states on license plates. As each car passed us (the moving truck only went 40-65mph) they would shout out, "What state is that one?" Marc got into it as well and we would be shouting into the walkie-talkies, "Check out the plate on your left - what is it?" We ended up only needing about 7 or 8 plates. We found Alaska and Maine but no Vermont or New Hampshire and we've all but given up hope of ever seeing a Hawaii.
Addie did so great! She never even fought having to get in or stay in her car seat.
After the Colorado pose (encircling the sign in their arms) the boys thought that was how they were supposed to pose for every picture!
This is my boys showing off their buff muscles in the snow.
We actually had to hurry and pull off the side of the road as we were going down this canyon. There was hardly any space to pull off and it was frightening every time a big semi passed us. But when you gotta pee - you gotta pee. And these two little guys sure had to pee!
Our last sight of snow until we come home for Christmas.
NEXT STOP NAUVOO!
