a little road trip




























Wynden got a crazy idea of surprising his mom and sister this past weekend. His niece was getting baptized, so all the New Mexico and Utah families would be in one spot for it. So we rallied together and got almost everyone from up here to go down for the surprise. We left Wednesday afternoon and drove all night. We got there on Thursday morning, ate breakfast, and then went to his sister's school (she's the principal) to surprise her...she was in a meeting, so we went to the hotel swam for a while and got ready to try it again. She was surprised it was really fun to see her face. I told her because of the meeting she got a clean surprise instead of a drove all night no shower surprise. We had a great time. We swam a lot and ate a lot. The drive home we were dumb and did it all during the day. The kids did great, but that's a long time to be in the car. Thank goodness for portable DVD players.

What a fun surprise. I love being sporadic like that.
Seriously, what did people do before DVD players in cars. It saved us on our Utah trip!
You and Lexi have the same freckles. So cute!
