There & Back Again

The actual driving time from our house in Indiana to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Texas is around 15 hours.  Which means lots of time in the car.  Our kids were such troopers both on the way to Texas and on our way home!  Here are a few fun pictures we gathered on our journeys!
As soon as we left our house, Tori got her "lookers" all ready so she could spot Grandma's house!  It's so hard to explain that we wouldn't be able to see it for quite some time.
Tori loved her bed at the hotel!  It was so nice to get out of the car after our first day of driving!
The most entertaining thing in the room- the thermostat!
We took many snack and play breaks on our second day of driving.  So glad we threw in some balls! Garrett latched onto this blue one...
while Tori snagged the soccer ball!
Tori found a stick to play with at every stop!
During one of our stops, Jared decided he wanted to climb this tree.  Tori, Garrett, and some random guy in his car were highly entertained! The only problem was getting down- Jared's poor arms were so torn up by the time he was back on the ground!
Heading back to Indiana, Tori was once again thrilled with her bed!
And it was so cute that she made sure all of her friends were tucked in with her!!!
Well, our 15-hour-driving-trip went really well!  Now bring on our 23-hour-driving-trip to Utah in a few months!!!
