Saying Good Bye and Going Home

Before we hit the road, we attempted to take some group shots of all of the cousins and grandparents. This is what we got! I am so happy that we got to spend the week with family. Thanks to my brother and Nicole for hosting. I'm sure they were not too sad to see us all go. :) Our kids were exceptional on the way home-only had to stop once in Pendleton at Wal-mart. We ate some Subway and ran around in the toy section, and then were back on the road. Having said, that they were well-behaved, they were also VERY spoiled on the way home. Each of them had their own DVD player. Sadie had her own space in the back of the van in her own little world with shows and snacks. Every once in a while she would pipe in and say, " How much longer?" We would tell her, " Five more hours!" She would respond, "Okay!" and put her headphones back on! Connor sat in the middle so he would not get carsick and watched Harry Potter movies and fed Eliza snacks. Eliza wore her BOSE headphones and watched endless "Baby Signing Time." Is that how your road trips were when you were a kid??


Seriously??

Sadie taking a break from movies for a snooze.

Oh man, that's the way to travel! When we were kids we had no luxuries, just endless hours of looking out the window, fighting with each other, and asking "Are we there yet?" :) How did our parents stand it?
