arizona to iowa


ARIZONA to IOWA 

This girl is starting to feel old with 2 nephews and 1 niece who are officially 8 or older! 
It was such a special opportunity to see 2 of them be baptized! It ended up working out really well being able to travel with my awesome sis Melanie and her 3 kiddos. It took us two long days to drive to Iowa, but it was a trip we will always remember!! Movies, music playlists, books on tape, ipads, princesses and snacks, that was all we needed to survive the trip! Oh- and a few barf bags too. 

Here are all the pics I took from my iphone. 
There may be a few stragglers to come in another post. 
But enjoy these for now! 

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^(above) passing through Flagstaff driving through smoke from the fires. 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ minus Bryson in the back and Mel in the front, this was our life for 2 days!

                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^oh ya know, just snaking on some grape tomatoes...





(Insert photo of the Oklahoma state line here, cuz OOPS, we missed the boarder!)
