Our weekend on the road!

Thursday found us driving to the airport so Trint could fly to Phoenix to play his trumpet for a church over the weekend. The rest of us went on to my parents. Our total drive was 7 hours! Christopher kept asking, "Are we almost there yet?" Sound familiar?

Then Friday morning, we got up early and drove another 7 hours to SD for my brother's college graduation. (Can hardly believe my baby brother is graduating from college! I remember when he was born!!) Congratulations, Rodney!
He had a nice graduation with several graduates from college, highschool (home-schooled kids), an 8th grade graduate, and a Kindergarten graduate. It was nice to see some people there that I haven't seen since I left the school which was 8 years ago! (Makes me feel really old!)
My boys had some fun while there with their uncles, playing at the park, & splashing each other with the drinking fountain water!
Saturday, we had a little time with my brothers and got to see where Rodney works and then we drove the 7 hours back to my parents. We stayed Sunday at my parents and then Monday we traveled again to pick up Trint--another 7 hours. We even did some shopping on the way home. The boys were sure tired of their car seats after 28 hours in them in 5 days!! Trint had a good time in Phoenix and was able to celebrate his birthday with his family. We also had a good time with my parents and some friends.

I'm thankful for our safe trips. I did have a flat tire but thankfully we were at a McDonald's with a playplace so the boys had something to do while I had the tire changed. The worst part of it was that while I was on the phone with the guy who was to come change the tire, another kid bit Blake on the back really hard and he was crying really bad so I quickly crawled inside the playplace to get him out while holding the phone! I wonder what that guy thought!
