Going to Mom Mom's house

Brianna is on spring break for the next 2 weeks so we left on a LOOOOOOOOOONG road trip to MomMom's house in Kansas. The girls were very excited. We left on Friday evening and drove to Arizona to see Great great Aunt Dorothy. We stayed all night at her house and then on Saturday we started driving again. We stopped at Montezuma Castle National Monument in AZ and got out to look around and stretch our legs while Ethan ate. It was an interesting stop and the girls enjoyed being out of the car for a while. We then drove to Grants, New Mexico and got a motel for the night. On Sunday we started again and drove all day and FINALLY arrived at MomMom's house at about 3 am on Monday morning. What is usually a long drive was made VERY LONG when each stop to feed Ethan took about an hour. Thankfully he travelled very well and usually would go 3-4 hours between feedings. We were all very ready to arrive at MomMom's house. We are enjoying being here and seeing family. We are so thankful for God's traveling mercies and a safe arrival.

Montezuma's Castle cliff dwelling. I don't think I would like to live like this. It was probably about 200 or more feet from this view down to the ground where we were standing.

So very tired from a long day travelling.

Playing at the big visitor's center rest stop outside of Amarillo, Texas. They loved that there was a playground.

Finally at MomMom's house.

Meeting Aunt Dana and cousin Karlye on Monday morning.
