ON THE ROAD AGAIN

We made another long cross country trip this summer to California and Oklahoma. It didn't quite match last year's 5,000 mile trek, but we came close with about 4,000 miles and being gone 18 days. We had a great time and got to see such different landscapes all along the way and even saw the border fences to Mexico. When we got back to Utah, our AC was shot. I think we blew it out crossing through the HOT, HOT deserts of Nevada, California, and Arizona. Thank goodness we made it home before it really went out!

We loved being able to see so many family and friends along the way. On our way to CA, we stopped in Vegas and stayed with one of David's old roommates, Parker, and his wife, Stephanie. It was just so nice to be able to break up the trip with so many stops.

Adam once again, was a little trooper in the car! Here are some pics from the road.

On our way to CA, Krystle drove down with us. I'm afraid she became Adam's little slave though on the trip! He would just sit there with his mouth open and say, "pretzel," or "water," or whatever it was until she would place it in his mouth. She was so good to entertain and take care of him in our squished car. We all really missed her when she took a plane home and we still continued on our journey:)

After CA, we stopped in Tuscon, AZ, and visited with Angie, Richie, and little Miley. Angie was one of my old roommates. It was so fun to see them and spend some time with them along the way. We watched Angie play in a soccer game and got to go swimming in the morning before we hit the road. It was a nice break.

We took one more stop before we made it to OK. We stopped in Albuquerque and stayed with another one of my old roommates, Holly. We went to church with them and loved seeing her cute little family. She had her baby less than a week after this picture was taken!

Adam and Hyrum, one of Holly's cute little boys.

On the way home, in CO, we stopped at a gas station. It had a huge bear that said, "Hug me Please." I don't think Adam could have been any happier than to be out of the car, hugging that bear!

Still a happy camper, even at the end!
