772 Miles A van and four kids



So on Friday My four kids, My father-in-law and me loaded up the car and drove 772 Miles to Utah. The trip actually went pretty good. WE had a couple of melt downs, and mcdonalds was pretty crazy. Taylor would just get mad at me every time I asked her what she wanted to eat, and than I didn't catch it when she did tell me. We made 4 stops. 2 major stops the others where just for gas. Michael had a melt down. And Savannah kept asking..."How much longer?", "this is the Longest ride ever!" and "If we are in Utah we should be there already!!!" Drew did pretty good, he would fuss a little towards the end of each stretch put I was truelly amazed how well he did. I had goodies for the kids evey so often. I will never bring anything with stickers again. They are still on my windows. Ugh!


And the best part I didnt' have to even drive. My father-in-law offered to come and help and he drove the whole way. I offered. He probably felt safer driving. WE made the 11 hour drive in 14 hours. Not too bad I think. My car wasn't even too trashed. A few crumbs but no too bad. Here's a picture of Drew and his cheeto face.

Oh, my gosh! I don't know if you will see this while you are still in Utah, and I'm sure you are busy, but if you have time we should get together. Mar is here too, and Kimberly Gilchrist lives pretty close to me too.
