We left Friday evening at 6pm. After a few hours the kids did finally fall asleep...which means less bathroom/snack stops. This is what the back of the van looked like. (It was a good thing we didn't get pulled over for anything.)
After a straight 24 hour drive, we made it to El Paso, Texas...over halfway to our destination. The kids were definitely ready for something to do other than sitting and fighting. The hotel break made the rest of the trip bearable.
The kids wanted to be creative and built a fort for Ammon to take a nap in. Hotels bring out the crazy in everyone.
We finally made it to AZ! After so many, "Are we in Arizona yet?" we could finally say that we were. Of course there was still 6 more hours of driving. But we made it to our destination by 3pm Sunday...I can't believe we made that trip in about a day and a half!

looks like my childhood drives across the country all sleeping in the back with piles of blankets! glad you finally made it!
This totally reminds me of when I was a kid in the station wagon! Too funny. I hope you guys have a portable DVD player. I'm glad you guys made it safe. We sure do miss the kids in Primary, though. We miss you, too, Rhonda. Relax and have a great time.
