Daniel's little brother, Nathan, got home from his mission and Daniel had the vacation time for us to go for a whole week. We didn't want Samuel to miss a week of school so he stayed home and we rented a little car for us and the kids. I liked the close quarters, it was easy to help the kids and we saved on gas.
Each road trip the kids get a little toy that they open and it usually keeps their attention for a while
New Optimus Prime
Napping - we do a lot of that on our trips
I made play dough, we brought legos, books, dvds, coloring, books on cd.
We were switching things out pretty regularly.
Potty break
Playing soccer at the rest stop
They are pretty good with road trips, I hope we keep up the tradition
The car we used
Sleeping beauty
Swimming in grandma's pool
They spent a lot of time in the pool this trip
This was before breakfast our first day there, they don't waste much time.
He does whatever they want to do, he's such a good daddy. Love you honey. :)
We went to the science museum and they had legos and blocks.

Sophie was a little scared but liked watching Ethan

More bird feeding
They had a platform we could climb to feed the giraffes, it was fun to be so close!
Ethan was too scared to feed the giraffe but sophie got right in there
This was a younger giraffe, so cool!
Ethan was okay handing me the food but was a little freaked out.
We rode the sky lift on a ride through the whole park, it was fun.
We passed Daniel and Sophie as we did the turn-around on the way back.
