The kids did great in the car. We passed the 23 hour drive with lots of games, books, naps and snacks.
Michael got to help co-pilot about half the time while I was the entertainment in the middle with Luke.
Thank goodness for Sonic Happy Hour between 2-4 pm...did you know just about every small town in Texas, Colorado & New Mexico seem to have a Sonic on their main street? Good Times :)
The hotel in New Mexico was one of Jake's favorite parts of the trip. It was so great, we stopped at the same one on the way home. Swimming in their fun pool and then off to bed.
Luke's view of the back of the seat was a little boring at times, so Jake helped him out and gave him some balls to play with :)
While in Utah, we hiked up to Bridal Veil Falls with my family to show the kiddos where Don & I got engaged (awww, so sweet!)
And Luke ended up getting his first sunburn here...sorry sweet baby!
We had to get some famous cheese fries and dipping sauce at the Training Table!
And take the kids to BYU
And hit the Creamery of course for some delicious ice cream and chocolate milk!
We went to a fun water park with our cousins
Cousin Sam & Hayley
And visited Temple Square in Salt Lake City
We caught up with old friends
The McCanns...just like old times!
And the Andres family!
Luke met all his Utah cousins and Aunt & Uncles
Cousin Bria and our gang at Temple Square

OK, you guys posted a whole load of stuff all at once, and comments fail me for all of it -- but thanks for sharing your summer! (Next time just space it out a tad, huh?)
Arizona is next...right?
Wow, I didn't know you guys DROVE to Utah - I can soooo sympathize with that! I'm not looking forward to the drive we'll be taking soon. I didn't know that there were so many Sonics! I think we'll be stopping there a lot this time.

I had no idea you guys got engaged at Bridal Veil Falls...that's where Kevin proposed to me also!!
