Another Day in the Life of a Road Tripper

Some of the cons of being on a road trip, bouncing from place to place: Being tired, not spending enough time with everyone we visit, being tired, living out of suitcases, being tired, kids throwing up in the car, being tired, and sick kids while traveling (did I mention being tired?).

But the many pros outweigh the cons tenfold: seeing loved ones, making memories, taking pictures to blog about, the kids fight so much less, we're not messing up our own house, a new exciting adventure each day, a break from my "life" and duties, seeing my kids absorb each place and person and build upon their memories...

(I love when I can do a quick blog each day about my trip - it is so much better than getting back and feeling overwhelmed about catching up on the blog.)

Today we were able to see Kandelyn, Ashlyn, Tanner and Haylie. It's been about two months since they moved away from us, and it was so exciting to pull up to their new home and see where they disappeared to! It wasn't too long of a visit, but it was so great to see them and catch up a bit. We sure miss them!

(Haylie and Peyton were getting into mischief in the bathroom together)

(Together again! Jordyn, Lex, Ashlyn and Tanner)

(This happens......oh, NEVER. Peyton was so tired she fell asleep just out in the living room. Too much excitement)

(Me and Kandelyn. I told her I'm still waiting for her to move back so I can stop "filling in" for her as the Primary President, ha ha)

And finally, a sneak peak at the amazing Bear Lake "cabin" we get to stay at for the next two days. (It's more like a mansion than a cabin!) We were so excited that Tucker flew in and joined us today for the rest of our trip. More to come....
