Camping.....

This weekend we learned to never trust a GPS! We went camping with Phil's family and on the way there we took a bit of a detour. It should have taken us 9 hours to get there, but it took us 12! We decided to go a different way than we normally go so we used our "trusty" GPS to get us there. It took us way off the path and we ended taking 3 extra hours to get there. To get back on the road that we needed to be on we had to drive through twisty mountain roads. Gracie ended up getting car sick and threw up all over herself, her car seat, the floor, the blanket, the DVD player and the food bag! Poor little girl! She was so tough though. Once we got into a town with a gas station we stopped to clean it all up. We got some pretty funny looks from people watching us clean up throw up and seeing our breaks smoking from driving down the mountain. The kids did awesome during the drive. Thank heavens! We had a ton of fun with his family. My parents came too so that was a great bonus! Here are a few pictures of the trip.





Just some interesting scenery along the way!
Now this is taking the bobble head to a whole new level!

I can't believe how big your kids are getting! I love the picture of Gracie by the river with the stick. So cute!

There is nothing like getting lost when you are driving with kids! I am glad you found your way. Looks like there was plenty of dirt to keep them busy:)
