Summer 2011 Road Trip - parts 1 & 2

The older kids had a blast on the tube.
The first leg of our mega-road-trip was to Utah. We went boating with aunts/uncles/cousins/Grandma/Popcorn.

The little kids simply had fun hanging out in the boat with Uncle Glenn.

 Back at the house, cousins enjoyed being silly together ...

playing together ...









and ganging up on Popcorn.

The adults were worn out by all the energy the kids sapped from them.
The girls got to play with Addy too.










The second part of our trip took us to California, where we visited with friends in Sacramento, and then drove down to Hollister to visit with Ron and Roxanne.
We stopped at a gas station in Reno that had this little car the girls could ride in. It is the same one we took a picture of Eden in on move to Davis after BYU.
The girls were thrilled to visit with their friends, the Becks.
I'm not sure who has more reason to be afraid, the little girl or the big horses. Probably the Dad who's probably going to hear a request for a pony when it's birthday time.


The girls have learned how to care for the horses.

Eden loves helping her sisters ride horses too.






















A day trip to the ocean gave the girls an opportunity to chase seagulls, collect seashells, and build sand castels.
Is there a better way to end a long day than to take a luxurious bubble bath?
