okay, so this post is a loonnng time coming, but better late than never - right?? oh well, i must admit that i am not very good at journaling, but i do much better blogging and online journaling than i have ever done the traditional way.
so, in march we took a trip to arizona, and had a great time. my dad flew down to spend some time with my grandparents, and we thought that made a good excuse to go and see them too. we didn't make it out at christmas, when everyone else did, so we thought we'd make it a spring break trip instead. it worked out to be the week after spring break, but i think seeing your great grandparents is a whole lot more important than preschool!
it is a 16 hour drive from where we are, so we took two days doing it. i don't know what we would have done if we didn't have the portable dvd player. that thing saved our bacon. the kids actually did really well, for the most part. naomi did not enjoy being made to nap in her carseat, but other than that, life was pretty pleasant.
the kids enjoyed watching saturday morning cartoons at the hotel we stayed at. they looked pretty zoned out, don't they?
on the second day of our drive, we decided to stop and do some site-seeing while we stretched our legs. we stopped at meteor crater, which is the biggest meteor crater in the world. it was pretty interesting, and a fun stop.
before we actually got to the crater, we came to a big open space with a bunch of sand, dirt, and rocks. it wouldn't have been very appealing, normally, but to a couple of cooped-up kids, it was heaven!
they explored...
and ran around like crazy...
here is the actual crater. pretty massive.
after the meteor, we got back in the car, and made it to my aunt and uncle's house. they were wonderful enough to let us stay with them on our trip, and even had pizza for us when we got there.
stay tuned for part 2
