Road Trip!!

The first week in June we were able to drive up to Idaho for my little brother, Coleman's, highschool graduation. We left around 8pm at night and ended up driving all night until we got to our friends, Jason & Karyn Vorhees' house in Tigard OR. In stopping there we were able to spend some nice time with them as well as their new baby girl, Hayden Elizabeth, who we were meeting for the first time.

Once we left we made the rest of our drive up to Sandpoint ID to start all the festivities leading up to the graduation and party. The girls were SO excited to see Purple Grandma and to be in ID visiting family. Saturday was the gradutation and Sunday was his party. It was all great and we had a wonderful time. We were also able to meet a new member of the family, cousins Dan & DJ's new baby girl, Deanna Amber.

We even got an interesting special treat on Tuesday night while we were there. My mom's cousins in Alabama sent us Crawfish and Alligator for dinner one night....yes, I said SENT, in the mail, a HUGE cooler full of Crawfish and Alligator meat. I was a little skeptical at first, but I'll usually try anything once. Turns out, it was great - we all had our fair share, even Joanna (Joy was not a fan - I think she was more concerned about what they looked like). It was such a good time and a great story to share!

Crawfish anyone???

We left Thursday morning to drive back to OR and stopped this time for 2 days before starting our drive home. We visited Multonomah Falls. It was absolutely beautiful. It was so amazing to see these waterfalls and see what the Lord can make. You can walk to the top of the very tallest one and we made it pretty far up there, but with 2 little kids and a stroller, we weren't going to make it the whole way, someday though...If anyone is ever in the area, I encourage them to go...it's breathtaking. We then visited with Gomma, Pa, Nick, Ashley, Jason, Karyn and Baby Hayden some more before packing it all up and driving home Saturday.

We finally made it home Sunday after a week and a half of LOTS of driving and seeing a lot of family!! It was a wonderful trip and I feel very blessed that we were able to go. Thanks to everyone for the fun times and for being so hospitable to us. Can't wait to come again!! :)
