We took hundreds of pictures along the way so I'll only bother you with a few collages. We did have a great time though. It was so wonderful to see grandma and grandpa as missionaries and see their life on the Navajo Reservation. I loved it and would love to serve a mission there some day. Because we drove we were only able to spend a few days in each destination which was kind of hard. We were in Arizona for a day and then in Utah for 5 days, which isn't really enough time to really see all the family, but we had such a good time anyway. We did Christmas at my sister's house and it was a blast. She is quite the hostess. The kids loved seeing grandma, aunts, uncles and cousins and didn't really want to leave. Then we drove to Denver....something may come of this but I'll wait until things are final to say more. We loved it there also. Then the long drive home.
Honestly, the kids did amazingly well despite...6,000+ miles traveled, going through 13 states (some twice), 9 nights in hotels, all of them having colds, and me with pink eye (yes, me...not the kids). I think the fact that we stopped whenever we saw the Krispy Kreme "hot donuts" sign helped. :)
ARIZONA - Grandma and Grandpa on the Rez.
THE DRIVE - I didn't take a lot of "driving" pictures, but we did stop at our cousins house in Kentucky on the way which was a highlight. The kids love Aunt Karen, Uncle Red (actually it's Rhett), Sage, Henry and Wilford. We also found a store called "Sutherlands" where we stopped and bought some matching hats.
UTAH - Christmas fun
Utah - Sutherland cousins

You guys are crazy!! But, that's how memories are made - what fun! Glad you had a safe and fun trip!
Looks like it was SO much fun! I especially love the sutherlands hats! I remember we used to have a Sutherland's store by us when I was younger.
