Packing Up and the First Half of the Trip

This morning Brad I packed up all of our stuff and loaded up the van. Then we took a nap so we would be ready to leave and drive to Ontario, OR tonight. We hit the road early this afternoon. And I think we stopped every 2 hours for at least 30 minutes. And the kids were really good for us in the car and we had fun stopping and getting souvenirs. It seemed to take forever to get to the hotel, but we finally made it!

New Pictures of the Kids!!!! (thank you Jenilyn)

Going to the Cabin and Getting the Kids Pictures Taken

This morning we drove up to the cabin, with Barry, to see Grandma Gus and Grandpa Bud. It was a beautiful drive and the kids were so good for us.
Visiting with Grandma and Grandpa. The kids were so excited to see them!
Sierra was so happy to see them!
The ATVs were a HUGE hit with the kids! Here is Sierra and Alex on with Grandpa Bud.
They also went out with Papa.

We had a wonderful lunch with everyone before heading back home. Got home and put Sierra down for a short nap. Got all three of the kids cleaned up and ready to go. We headed down to Gateway to meet Jenilyn, Kyle, Hailea and Kadin for dinner at Applebee's. It was really good and the kids were all really good for dinner. After dinner we got the kids changed and Jenilyn took some amazing pictures of the kids. After the pictures were done we had some Ben and Jerry's ice cream and let the kids play in the water.
