Road Trip: First Destination--Idaho

So, we decided to take a road trip to Utah.  
This is Elsa getting lots of air. When the little ones start getting antsy, Chris rolls down the front windows and even opens the back ones.
It's great to hear everyone laugh and squeal as the wind hits their faces and hair. Then he rolls up the windows and they all yell "again, again!!"

So, we drove for about seven hours and stopped in for a quick visit and some hugs from Auntie Leslie and Uncle Matt. Then we headed over to Grandpa and Grandma Lindsay's house.

Saturday the big boys headed out to the drags.
The rest of us got some food for dinner, had lunch, went to Savers to spend the $10 grandpa had given the kids, and went to the park.

The kids had such a great time with Sam.
Rhaevyn loved getting to laugh and play chess with him. And boy was he a big help at Savers. He volunteered to push Elsa around in her stroller, and she was quite content.


Myles is listening to Uncle Matt reenact a scene form Star Wars with the Legos.


The kids found some great stuff at Savers. Myles got a huge bag of Army guys and a Carmen Sandiego Game. Elsa got a bag of Oneida silverware that is just for small hands and has cute bunnies on the ends. Aeva bought a wooden model of the USS Constitution. I found myself a book by Lucy M. Montgomery. I've already finished it. It had the cutest short stories in it.
Anyway, here is Aeva and Chris putting the ship together.

Rhaevyn and I got to hold Baby Emma. What a doll she is. So precious. You always forget how small they start out. Thanks Sarah for letting me getting my fill of baby goodness :) She was simply delicious!

  

Sunday was Mother's Day. Christopher's dad got me a beautiful corsage. 

I'm drying it so I can save it. We went to sacrament meeting in the morning. Then Mom and Dad Lindsay made us lunch for the road. They packed it all up in an ice cooler of theirs that they let us borrow for the next leg of our journey to Utah. It was so nice to not have to worry about lunch. We had fun eating on the road.

Before leaving for Utah we stopped at John and Shanda's house for Baby Emma's baby blessing.  We are so glad that we got to be there for that.

Okay, so hopefully over the next week I'll be posting pictures of our trip to Utah. Stay tuned.
