Only My Daughter....

The night we get back from our fabulous road trip I am unpacking and the girls are in their room playing. All of a sudden CK comes out of her room crying. I ask her what's wrong and she says,  "I miss school and my teacher!"

I tell her we were so busy these past two weeks with vacation she didn't get a chance to think about how much she missed school. We'll be busy all Summer, I tell her. I give her a big hug and tell her it will be okay.

CK goes back into her room and after a little while comes out again. Smile on her face and says, "I remembered my teacher gave us Summer homework. I did a Scholastic News and I feel much better."

Only my daughter. I hope this attitude lasts through college.

Our Gypsy Tour of The West

We just got back from a fabulous road trip! 3612.5 miles, seven states (NV, UT, WY, CO, NM AZ and CA) in two weeks! We stayed with family, friends, and a few hotels along the way. We saw some of our beautiful country, the Salt Flats, Fort Bridger, Garden of the Gods, Grand Canyon, Petroglyph National Monument, Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West and more. As a surprise to the girls, we ended with Disneyland (their first trip ever).

A trip of a lifetime. Spending time with my family and friends. Showing our daughters our beautiful country and teaching them about our history. We loved it all!

To make it easier, I put all the pictures on a website.
