Home Sweet Home

It's great to be back!! We had so much fun and enjoyed our time with family. Sorry to any friends that I didn't get to see. We were so busy with family that friends got put on the back burner and didn't get seen. I will be posting about our trip in several posts the next few days. I have so many pictures that need to be downloaded and chose from.
So to start off...... We started our adventures with a 10 hour drive. Here are a few things to remember......
*Your two year old will do better than anyone including your eight year old when it comes to the whining, are we there yet, potty breaks(although he isn't' potty trained yet) fighting with siblings, and the list can go on and on. Cole did great the whole trip, in fact I think he was the happiest in the car. And any family members can attest to that.
*Don't' forget the Bonine. Bumpy, twisting, winding roads will = one very sick crying child and a not as sick one.(We always forget that Jocelyn gets car sick on long rides and she cries and screams and cries some more and then screams some more untill she pukes in Page. She has done this for the past three years. You think we would remember form year to year. Kennedy gets alittle car sick but has learned to close her eyes and take a nap.)
*Taking our whole family to McDonald's now costs $30. And remember that there is a Wendy's in Kanab. Which in my book is much better than McD's and would have been alot cheaper to eat off their dollar menu.
*Your three year old will have to go potty every 15 minutes or she will pee her pants. And while driving in the boonies this is not good. Make sure you have a extra set of clothes in the car, not in the suit case on top the car.(Yes we did have a accident.)
*Movies, movies, movies. Enough said.

After our 10 hour drive we stayed the night a Cris' sister Holley's house for a day in Brigham City, UT. It was alot of fun to see and visit with them. Man, their kids have grown. I'm bummed that I didn't get any pictures of them. I'll have to remember that next time. That was our first couple of days on our trip.
