The fire was a BIG hit!


Emers now believes EVERYTHING should be eaten on a stick :)


Blowing.... Smart boy...


S'mores...





Our first sign that Ira was possibly overdosing on marshmallow?

The marshmallow dance.... Which looked like a sped up half cocked African tribal rain dance...

Monday:

With all the craziness of july, we promised the kids that august would be the "Month of FUN".... Each day THEY DECIDE everything since for the most part, july was spent being dragged from one place to the next. (except for when awesome visiting friends hung out with them)

Today is the first day!

The list:


Liv requested lots of cuddles...


Popcorn- 3 FULL batches. With butter and salt.





While laying Emerson down for a nap, I heard this noise- the unmistakeable noise if destruction. I said "children, what is that noise of destruction?!"

Imagine how pleased I was when they ran to show me this:


A zhu zhu pet bed made from a recycled water jug!

They sawed that hole with a plastic kids knife.....


It got too late too fast....and 1/3 of the children fell asleep. So the campfire was postponed and s'mores were made with propane :) and fed to mama.

Life is sooo tasty:)

On the road in the RV!!!!

We met my awesome friend carrie for coffee before hitting the road...

I had, literally, just rolled out of bed :)





Kids were so excited to finally get moving!











The drive through Colorado mountains was stunning!





We scored almost a full tank of waste veg!





We ended up stopping for the night in the middle of nowhere Utah. The rv park was CHEAP. It was not pretty. :)

Day 2

Utah rain...



More waste veg...


Rest stop silliness.....


Denny's. For the record- the ONLY gluten free items there: eggs & bacon...


Daddy was TIRED from a morning of driving without coffee- we didn't bring the keurig ;)


Arizona!


The virgin river...


Nevada storm brewing....


And pouring...


We pulled off to let the storm pass because winds were HIGH and we were on a mountain pass.

The kids enjoyed watching the storm...



Ira kept saying "were doomed" and then giving me this look...





We got to Vegas- went to whole foods and met up with DIANNA!!!!!


They played and told stories and watched movies until the girls fell asleep.

We were all very sad to not have more time together! :(
