The biggest reason for the trip was to bless our beautiful Brooks...more to come on that. There were a lot of firsts involving this trip; some great, some not:
-First time taking the boys on a road trip. Three small children and 2000 miles of driving was intimidating. Now that it's over; it's more intimidating than ever...the kids were THAT awesome in the car. I take that back; Carson was and ANGEL on the trip - seriously. The baby was alright; we got what we expected I suppose. Drake, Drake, Drake; what do I even say? He was a force to be reckoned with; I'll just leave it at that.
-First time Carson has thrown up from car sickness, oh, wait, never mind. Billionth time.
-First time meeting the adorable Sarah, our new niece-in-law. Weird calling her niece, since she is much more like a sister and friend.
First time on the worlds largest swing! Eden Wyoming has the most enormous swing-set ever! It was so tall, you couldn't push it to it's highest potential. Dave, with his arm fully extended was even too short (drastically). It was probably 25 feet tall, and the best part of all was that it was a baby swing set. I about died laughing.
First time on a four-wheeler for all four of my boys. Thanks again Hawkes brothers for all the rides!
First close encounter with a horse. Carson fed Barbie's horse some yummy apples from Grandma's tree.
First time at Funland! Carson, Drake, and Saydee got to ride airplanes...

...horses! (the carousel)...
...the ferris wheel (mommy and daddy came on this one)...
... and choo-choo trains!
Our wonderful vacation also consisted of lots of canning. It took 12 hours to can 9 bushels of apples. We also played with lots of cousins, enjoyed some good food, and caught up on much needed sleep. Dave and I also got to go on a couple much needed dates. It was wonderful. We can't wait to go again next year!
