We took a family road trip!!! 22hr drive to Arizona! YAY!!! And we lived to tell the tale! Surprisingly, I don't have very many pictures of us in the car... We left Tuesday afternoon around 4ish, and stopped an hour for dinner. The boys did great! It took them forever to go to sleep because the sun sets so late, but they both actually slept! Will and I took turns driving. The boys would wake up every hour or so fussing (they are stomach sleepers), but we could get them calmed down quick they never woke up fully. We got to Salt Lake at 5:30, and didn't want to wake up his brother, so we slept in the car for an hour or so. The boys were SO SO SO happy to be on their stomachs!
In Utah, we took naps, and spent time with Wills brother Brian and his family. Brady LOVED playing with cousins, and Tanner had fun too. We went to the Tulip Festival, and out to this AWESOME place for ice cream at Thanksgiving Point... sorry don;t remember the name.
Early the next morning we were off to Arizona! We stopped by an Uncles on the way, and got in Thursday night. We loved staying with Wills dad, and visiting with family and friends. We had a surprise birthday party for my mom, who was down there because my sister had a baby, which was awesome because I got to see even more family then usual.
Brady LOVED all the attention and was the entertainment of everything. Tanner after the first couple days started having really bad Mommy withdrawls from everyone holding him, and started having multiple meltdowns...we are still trying to get over those.
We were there for 5 days, then drove back home. We decided to go straight through the night because Brady woke up with the Stomach bug which lead to multiple stops... Driving through the night was totally worth it to NOT have to entertain kids a second day in the car. Over all the boys did great! And we were able to catch up on sleep after a few days.
Tanner started crawling 2 weeks ago, and started walking with one hand this week. Brady wants to do everything by himself without help... so He is teaching me more patience... I thought I already had enough. Apparently not. We are loving the outdoors and going on bike rides with the new bike trailer I got.
