Justins Grandma passed away last week, and we knew it was coming. We were able to see her when we were in Utah. It was nice to be able to say goodbye. We decided to drive the 13 hours each way be there 35 hours and then turn around. To be completely honest, I wasn't quite sure. I wasn't sure about the drive, for the fact that we had just taken the kids on the longest road trip ever invented... 50 hours, from Maryland to Oregon with a long stop in Utah, and the fact that Brayden had been potty trained for only 2 weeks. Needless to say, my prayers were answered, and everything went well. We actually have fun driving as a family. It is fun to have that bonding time with the kids and they are so good about it. They are however beginning to resent their carseats.
This is one of the stops we made at Malad Gorge. It was amazing. I didn't know this existed and we truely loved the scenery. On both sides of the gorge are farms, and then there is this.
Justin let Camden have a piece of Licorice while I was driving. I look and my rear view mirror to see this. Can we say heart attack? I thought it was blood or something.
Oregon is absolutely stunning. As we drove accross Oregon we came to McKenzie pass. This is the summit. Here there is an observation tower to see all the mountains and everything. The weirdest part was all of the Lava. It was rolling hills of lava rock. We want to learn more of what had happened here.

Sorry to hear about Justin's grandma. That is so neat that you made the effort and just WENT! Good job. You will be so glad that you did. For me, funerals bring so much closure and it's good to be there to support other family members. Ok, your boys just keep getting cuter. Oh, pretty freaky picture of Camden. That did look like blood at first glance. I love the pics of Oregon. Looks beautiful. We miss our MD friends!
We just drove home from Georgia today and had a couple of "bloody faces" too. What a mess! It sure did keep them busy though!
