Returning home

We left Spokane to make the long journey back to Phoenix a little after 6 in the morning on a Monday. While driving through Montana, we saw some beautiful fields of snow. We stopped at a rest area to "rest" and it was freezing! I was wearing flip-flops and had no jacket, since I had forgotten to pack one for myself. The kids enjoyed it for about 30 seconds, then wanted to get back into the warm van.

We stopped in at Scipio Utah to see my Grandma and Grandpa Q. This was the first time they got to see Finley, so we visited for a while and enjoyed a yummy dinner made by Grandma, before heading back out for the open road.

We made it all the way to Overton, Nevada in the same day, getting there just after midnight. (18 hours after leaving, if you're counting!)

The next morning, we met my mom up at the high school where she and my dad work, for a trip to the school farm to pick out some pumpkins and lunch with my dad. It was lots of fun, even though it was a short visit.

Isaac was carrying his pumpkin about to drop it and saying, "heady." (rhymes with heavy.) It was pretty cute. Anyway, we made it home safe and sound after being gone for 12 days and traveling somewhere around 3000 miles. We had the best trip ever, and were fortunate enough to see lots of family, including all our grandparents and great-grandparents along the way.
