Helloooooo!



We're back!

We took a little vacay to visit family in AZ.

 44 hours in the car
The girls rocked it.
Seriously awesome travelers!


So many sweet moments.

I'll try to narrow down the 178 pictures I took 
to a few highlights. 


 We don't have In-N-Out in good ol' Montana.

Oh yes, it was a highlight.


 You can easily spot the Montana folk at the pool.






Many sweet moments with the grandparents.

 Like sculpting with Grandpa.
 Josh's dad is an amazing artist.


 Feeding the ducks after a picnic lunch at the lake.

 It's moments like these

that make the days in the car seem like nothin.'


 We went to the Grand Canyon.

 A picture cannot grasp what an amazing sight it is.
If you haven't been, you need to put it on your bucket list.

I would love to hike to the bottom one day.

Hmmmm . . .  maybe have a mule haul me back up.








  
After the canyon,


 we were 'on the road again.'

 I think it was around hour 9 on the last day I got a little 'ansy.'
So that's when I pretend I'm a DJ and play all my favorite tunes.

Oh yes, the Giffin's were
'Gettin' jiggy with it.'

 
It was a quick trip.
But we packed in loads of special memories.


Today I tackled Mt. Vacation Laundry
and renewed my expired drivers license.
Oh dear. 

I have 4 more days of Spring break.
I have made my unrealistic 'to do' list.

It's gonna be good!

Hope you're able to make some 
special memories this week!

  2. Beautiful pictures! It looks live you had a wonderful week. My grandparents lived in Arizona and I loved to visit them. Arizona is so pretty.

    In-N-Out we have one very close to our home...to close really. Good news is that is always very busy so we do not go that often.

  5. 44 hours? ah, kill me! the farthest we've driven with the kids is about 7 hours. we also climbed out of our death beads (we had been *really, really* sick) so it might have just been extra hard because we were still sick.

    you have such a nice looking family! welcome back!!

  8. Glad you had a great and safe trip! We love In 'n Out, always fresh, tasty and inexpensive to boot! The canyon looks big, I haven't been there yet, will have to squeeze it in on one of our trips down to visit. The girls look so big, Addy and Maggie are so grown up! Enjoy the rest of your break week!

  10. Wow you've been busy! What a fun road trip...wow how many hours with 4 little kids, amazing Amy. The photos were wonderful, all happy faces. So special to see family, glad you guys made the trip. Josh's dad is an amazing artist, he does nice work.

    We've been to the canyon many times (North Rim only) while living down in Cali for so many years. Gorgeous place.

    Miss in-and-out, had it all the time in CA.

    Good to catch up on your posts...I'm spending more time over on "Pinterest" these days, geesh. Love it! ;)
