Summer Road Trip Part 1 - Laramie, July 9 - July 14

I figure it is about time to start talking about our epic road trip, so I am going to break it up into four parts. 

Don't forget, I am totally lame and forget to take pictures a LOT while I am on vacation and that is totally the case for this first part.  I was going through my camera, and couldn't believe that I didn't have one single picture from our first few days in Laramie!

Anyway, we left Maple Grove on Thursday night, July 8, at about 10:00 pm.  Crazy, I know, but we choose to do this because Cameron actually prefers to drive at night, and by doing this we can usually guarantee ourselves some good quailty sleep-time from Miley.  She was awake until about 12:30 am when we left, but then she fell asleep and stayed that way until about 7:30 the next morning.  At that point we were only about 4 hours away from Laramie, so the restlessness from Miley didn't phase us too much.  :)  We pulled into Laramie at about 10:30 on Friday morning, and spent the next few days catching up with my whole family.  Lindsey and her family were there, and Gelsey and her family were there for a couple days.

We were pretty much in a sleepy delirious state those first couple of days from the long trip (maybe I can blame my lack of pictures on that??).  But we were still able to play some games, goto a carnival that was in town, and have lots of time to just chat.  Cameron worked from home on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, so that kept him busy while I had some sister time.  :)

I am glad that we got to have some time with our whole family together.  That doesn't happen very often, and it is always fun (and a little bit crazy!) when we get together!

Next part - Polson Family Reunion in Park City Utah!

Yay! Maybe this will motivate me to finally catch up on my blog, too. I am going to need to steal some pictures from the family reunion from you because I was also totally lame and forgot to take a lot of pictures there.

Wow! I'm impressed that Miley slept for a solid 7 hours! If I could guarantee my kids would do that I might attempt a midnight drive too. I seriously doubt they would though. Glad you got there safely and had fun with your fam! Looking forward to the rest of the posts!

How fun! It's always nice to have sister time. And I'm glad the drive went well!
