K&B Family: 60 Hour Road Trip- Part 3 Nor Cal

Monday after Gma weekend, we headed to Nor Cal.
Drew and Evan were ready to be home and they hopped in with me. Grace also decided she wanted to ride with me. So that meant I needed to have a couple kids ride with Elizabeth and Tyler, Austin was already planning on it and Luke agreed , not verbally because he didn't talk to them until we were almost there.
We got a later start than we had hoped but planned to stop if all three adult drivers were too tired to drive anymore. We stopped at the rest stop with the salt flats so the kids had to go check it out. Just before Reno, I had Elizabeth drive my car while I soothed an upset Luke, he was pleasant the entire day with the Monsons and then cried for almost a half an hour after getting in the car with me. And Julia was ready to be in a bed sleeping not trying to falling asleep strapped in her car seat. But we made it and the next day we were really excited that we had persevered.
Tuesday, we hung out and then went with the Monsons to the lake and had dinner at their house. And Ann and Katie and kids came from Utah.
Wednesday, I went to Sam's Club while Ann took kids to the park and Katie stayed with sleeping babies.
Thursday, we went to the cement slide park. It was so fun. I only went down a couple times but the kids had such a fun time going over and over, especially after Katie came back with wax paper.
Friday, we went to the Folsom Aquatic center. That was also so much fun. Luke spent so much time in the little kid playground in water, at one point he was the only kid there. The high dives and inflatable obstacle course were big hits with the older kids. We stayed until they kicked us out for swim lessons. We went to the Monsons for dinner.
Saturday was Evan's baptism, the reason for our trip around the west. I felt the spirit so strongly during that meeting. I am so glad we were able to come and be a part of his special day. Not surprisingly, I do not have one photo from the special event. Afterward, we went to Ann's for nachos. Then we went to Monsons for a movie (Big Hero 6) in their backyard with pizza and candy and s'mores. Soccer and trampoline jumping also happened and little kids went up to the loft to play too.

One of those nights we had a cousin sleepover at Ann's and Austin and Conrad were brave enough to sleep out on the trampoline, reminded us of our childhoods. It was such a fun week, when are we all going to be neighbors?

Julia loved Louie

Benjamin fell going up the "steps" at the cement slides. Thankfully he didn't hit a metal stake that was sticking out of the step.

All my boys, Benjamin was not that excited about taking a photo. This was post fall on the steps.

Movie in the backyard
