We stayed at Grandma Bonnie's childhood home. It's so cozy and has a perfect backyard for the kiddos. They especially loved jumping on the trampoline in the 85 degree weather and sleeping on the tramp at night! (We loved the beautiful Utah weather!!)
It was off to Manti Utah for the wedding, and it was so beautiful! After that we headed to their wedding reception at a lavender farm, it was complete with a pond with paddle boats, climbing wall, play sets, volleyball...you name it..it was there!! So much fun!
The next day we went to Temple Square. What a treat! It's so peaceful and beautiful there! We were able to meet up with a couple of our Houston friends there and the kids were so happy to see their buddies!
We ate at Cafe Rio, and In n Out... as always it was delish and something to look forward to!
Then it was off to head home. We made that trip back in 27 hours...not too bad! The last two hours were torture for Jack. Poor thing...he sat in his carseat the whole way, he earns a gold star for that trip! Mac of course never made a peep the whole 53 hours, Abby was an amazing helper and such a good traveler, and Finn was.. Finn...super needy, cranky, and loud, but overall he did pretty good. The poor thing just wanted to get out and play!
Even though we did have a blast being with and seeing our family, we might take a few years off until our next looooong roadtrip!!

You're inspiring. The thought of being stuck in the car with my kids for that length of time makes my eyes water. Glad you've had a great summer. Miss you! :)
I'm glad you made the long trip because I got to play those cute kiddos! Was so happy to be with them! You have great kids there Allison and Ben! They melted my heart every time they gave me a hug or asked me to play. That last picture of Finn is adorable! What a smile!! ...and is that a pic of Ben and James cuddling?? My brother's are insane! Love them that way too!!!
