Road Trip!

We took a really fun road trip out to Utah the last week in February to see family! I am so glad to have Laura as my friend that we can do these fun things together. Our kids love each other and got their fill with 12 hours each way in the car! We watched the weather for about 24 hours straight, deciding whether to make the trek over the mountain pass in snowy weather. We found a few hours break Saturday morning, so we headed out. The pass was very clear on the road and it was really pretty with the freshly fallen snow! We hit some traffic near the summit, but other than that, we were stopping for lunch in Sparks about 4 hours later.All was going well until we hit snow about an hour outside of Elko. We stayed the night in Elko. I think Laura and I each got about an hour of sleep that night, LOL. There is nothing quite like sharing a bed with your toddler. But we made it to Salt Lake early Sunday morning and parted ways.

Our week was a pretty good one. I ate Cafe Rio 3 times, saw family and the kids got to play with their cousins.
Here is Nolan, Reagan and Jane sitting in a Ben Franklin display.

Kristen had us over for lunch and so that the kids could play!

We had dinner in Provo one night, eating Red Robin hamburgers and then let the kids toss coins into the fountain. Reagan, Emma, Nolan, Chase and Jane. And all the adults in the background watching them splash :)

One of our days was spent going to the Treehouse Museum in Ogden. Here is Little Red Reaganhood.

Reagan playing doctor. Not many pics of Nolan....he didn't leave the train section and he was angry most of the time anyway, yelling at kids who dared to enter the train section with him.

We spent some time with Grandma and Grandpa Rasmussen and got to see our cousins.

Reagan and Grandpa My sister bought a house and we got to go inside of it. Here is her first pic in front of it!

The grandkids doing p90X or whatever it is called:) Doing chin-ups. It is crazy how much Nolan loved to do them, too. For skinny arms, he sure can hold his weight well.

Reagan and Whitney

We sure loved seeing family and are looking forward to the next time we come out...which won't be as cold and snowy! Love to all!
