Summer Road Trip Part 1

I have been trying to decide how and what I am going to post, about our latest trek. I have too many pictures and stories for just one post. So, I have decided to post in installments. I hope this will be less confusing to readers, and for myself. So, here it goes.

This summer Royd and I had a conference in Salem, Oregon. We have never been to that part of the country so we loaded up the family for what turned out to be a 3,000 mile road trip.

The boys left first hitching a ride with some cool aunts (LaDawna, Dendra, Marvene, Maridee, and Malawna.) It was more fun than a Minni van can hold. They met up with my sister Amy in Salt Lake. Amy said that she felt sorry for the boys because his other aunts looked like so much fun, and now they were stuck with her. They trekked further north to Cub River, Idaho. They worked and played with cousins they only get to see a few times a year. Reese wishes he could live in Cub River, because he pretty sure he would never have to wear shoes.

The boys were able to work at a family restaraunt The Deercliff Inn. My grandfather built and opened the Inn with his sister Tyra. My mom's cousin Joy now owns the restaurant. The Boys had tonz of fun. Quade earned about $20 in tips. Reese took his pay in ice cream, soda, and scones.

The rest of us joined the boys in Idaho 3 days later. It is such a beautiful place. But, the most beautiful thing I saw was my new nephew Hollister. He was not so new(5 months.) This was the first time I had seen the cute little monster. So cute! We hated to leave but we needed to get on the road for the conference.
