Road Trip- Getting there.

Fall & Spring seem to be our seasons for traveling & we were all itching to take a break, so this past week we packed up our van and took a road trip to California for family and fun!  We felt our time clocks ticking with my pregnant self and the arrival of a newborn next year and we convinced my mom to come along since this might be her last chance to actually drive with us since all our car seats will be filled come late Feb.  We would not have been able to do it without her... Have you ever traveled with 4 little boys, even with her we were outnumbered?! 

We made sure to make lots of stops along the way to let little legs run- first stop Red Rock State Park in Gallup, NM...  That cool formation on the top is called Church Rock.  We quickly turned around when we saw a sign that said "Beware, rattlesnake season!".  

Carter ran for his freedom and wasn't thrilled when he was confined again!

Dad and J being silly.

We stayed overnight in Flagstaff, AZ and our hotel was directly next to Northern Arizona University, the kids loved exploring the beautiful campus.  Kyle finds me flowers everywhere he goes :). 

We got an early touch of fall colors and fallen leaves.

C is learning from Kyle!

Hi!

Run the sillies out before day 2 of driving!
