Nova Scotia Bound 2016

🎼Three days on the road and we're gonna make Illinois tonight🎶.

36 hours of driving across 8 states...we couldn't be more thankful that God kept us safe and for the perfect driving weather. No matter how many times we drive across the US we are always amazed by the beauty and diversity of our country. Once we made it out of California the gas prices alone gets 2 thumbs up. Then a nonstop drive-by of Vegas moved us quickly down the road to more beautiful scenery.

Ahhh, the open road through Nevada, Arizona and Utah

After an early morning start on the west side of the Rockies we were greeted with gorgeous sunshine as we drove through Glenwood Canyon alongside the Colorado River. 

        Blue Boy had to catch his breath after tackling the Vail Summit.

You've heard of the Rocky Mountain High but even better is getting to share this trip together! 

      Photo Bombing Tommy

Now on to the open plains, prairies and farm lands of the Midwest.

         

        

       

Friday afternoon traffic in central Nebraska. I think we can handle this.

We hit the 100,000 mile mark on the odometer today! That's a lot of fun miles and memories. 

Thank you Lord for being with us all the way. 

    

   

Hello Mississippi River! Crossing over you means we are only a few hours away from our loved ones. Yippee! 

Cuddling Cousins in California

In April, our daughter Monica and her littles came from Chicago to warm up in the California sunshine. We had lots of sunny days and sweet times with our daughters and grandkids and of course, the cousins had a blast together too. Here are some pics from the fun week.

                     

             Playing follow the leader and silly times in the backyard canyon with Papa

                  

              

Perfect weather for a walk on the SC pier and then looking for a special rock to throw in the waves. 

Ideal beach weather for the gang at Camp Pendleton's harbor cove with Aunt Leah and Zoe

Mommy and Me morning yoga class, everyone welcome

A visit with Great Grandpa Meadows. He loves the sweet kisses from Avery

                   Glow stick bath time

Cuddles and snuggles are the best

 

We had a good time hanging with the Richardson family at the Irvine Spectrum.      

           Sister Love! 

Fun cousin time with Kylee and Bram and a few shenanigans too.
