Five days after school started, we headed out to Utah for Labor Day weekend for Auntie Emily's wedding! Of course, this was a great source of panic for 3 of our 4 kids, but they are all already caught up with the school work they missed while we were gone. Besides our winter trip to Mexico, this trip to Utah was our one big trip this year, and it was hard not to extend it even longer to maximize our time in Utah- there are so many incredible national parks that were just hours away. But we stayed focused on what mattered most- time with extended family and then getting these kids back to school!
And back to their pup, who always knows something is up when the suitcases and crate come out.
The views going west just get uglier and uglier until the mountains appear.
Sweet Leah offered to drive for a portion of the 32 hours on the road. After one hour she was done, but Daddy and I were both thankful for her contribution!
Emo Emma in Nowhere Wyoming and cute Noah sitting on the fence that we all tried- and some succeeded- at jumping over.
For as many times as we've stopped at Little America, I think this is the first time we've gotten their 49 cent ice cream!
Daddy was the last one to the dinosaur, so he had to kiss it!
Two days, one hotel, plenty of homework, lots of Road Trip MadLibs and a few movies later, we finally made it to Grandma and Grandpa's house! Now that's a view worth driving to.
