Getting the bikes ready
Nate packing up the car for the first of many times.
All ready to go.
Here we go.
Our first stop was Yuma.
The kids went for a swim in the Colorado river.
Then we had some lunch.
We made it to our first destination
which was Aunt Stacey's house to see the new baby . . . a girl!
finally, after 7 boy cousins we have a girl.
After a very quick visit we were back in the car and off to our next stop, which was . . .
lake Powell
The kids set up the tent
They did manage to get the thing up.
While the kids set up the tent, Emily made spaghetti for dinner and spilled the pot of boiling noodles on her leg and the ground. Don't worry the kids salvaged what they could.
The next morning we played in the lake before we hit the road again.
Bye-bye lake Powell
On the road again . . .
We went to four corners (sort of). It was closed, but I was kind of glad because they charge you $6 a person to stand there and take a picture with your own camera. So $6 x 8people= 48. $48 for a picture! I like this one better. It was free.
What is going through Nate's mind right now? Probably, "6 kids in one car for a week and a
half . . . what was I thinking?"
We stopped for dinner in Durango, Co. It is very beautiful there. We let the kids play at a park before deciding to pull an all nighter on the road.
