Road Trip!

Ya, we're crazy. Why? Because we took 3 kids on a road trip to Sacramento the day school got out. In the end, I'm so glad we did it and here are some snapshots of our trip.Our first stop was my cousin Julie's house. We got to see their adorable son, Ryan and her husband, Bill. It was so relaxing just to sit, talk, and let the kids play in the pool outside with their cousin.

Me and Mikayla hanging out...and Julie doing something while standing on the couch? Good timing on the photo!Pool time with cousin Ryan...until the wasps appeared and then it was a scramble to the door!
Little Ryan-so cute!!
My cousin and her husband own a rather odd pet, a bearded dragon which my kids thought was the best thing EVER! They loved holding her and petting her.
Tyler was in heaven when he held Sammy. Look at that smile.
Mikayla with the reptile.
Julie and her baby, Ryan. When I look at this picture, it almost makes me cry. What a miracle baby, what a miracle mommy. It was only 2 years ago that Julie battled cancer while she was pregnant and look at that beautiful, baby boy, not to mention that beautiful mommy! God, you are amazing!!
Thanks, Bill and Julie, for a wonderful, relaxing time. We've got to do it again, soon!
