only a short 19 hour trip back to kansas yesterday.
with 5 kids in the car.
it was actually fine…not as bad as it seems like it would be.
there wasn't any singing campfire songs but many movies were watched, video games & music played.
utah was beautiful.
we got to look at this everywhere we went the entire time.
now it's back to reality.
i have to pick up the dog…get some groceries…start on the laundry…clean out the car….
Steph - Welcome back! That photo is gorgeous! I can’t wait to go and read your posts about the trip and to look at your photos. 🙂
Sandy - That’s an AMAZING picture! We’re glad you made it home safely!!
