ROAD TRIP TO THE MTC

I'm so far behind in blogging (this is why I was never even going to start a blog in the first place, lol).  Instead of writing a lot of stuff about what's been going on - I'll just post the pictures, and hope you already knew the news, hahah.

Just one quick explanation though.  August 22, 2010 we left Calgary with a van very full of people and stuff on our way to take Ross to the MTC.  We drove for 2 hours and stopped to pick up our dear friend Mackenzie Chiles who was headed back to BYU for another year.  The timing worked out perfectly to be able to take her down with us, and save her parents a bunch of money.  Plus, the more the merrier on a road trip!!  Luckily we had a roof rack, Ross was only allowed limited luggage, and Kenzie has travelled so much, that she fits into hardly any luggage too.  The seating arrangements may have been squishy, but I never heard a word of complaint, and we had a great time together.

We stopped at Lewis and Clark Caverns on the way down, to make it a bit like a family holiday.  Last time we were there Ross was just little.  Taking pictures in a cave is like taking pictures in a school gym - an art that I have yet to master.

Kenzie SMILING for a picture...  My kids have much to learn when it comes to SMILING for a picture instead of making a face, haha.





See - smiling again!



the tunnel out.


Mmmmmm! 5Guys! in Idaho Falls (not exactly 'on the way', but oh so tasty!)


Hmm....  Leave the kids alone in Target for a few minutes, and they start playing dress-up... silly kids.
