Road Trip Day 2 (by Becca)

This is day 2 of our road trip.

And it isn't Heidi writing this, it's Becca.

Ready?

So we left Nancy's house

and headed out.
We were originally going to stop at a children's museum, but we changed our plans. So we drove six hours straight to my Dad's Uncle Lee's house.

When you're in the car for 6 hours, there's lots of time for messing around with cameras.

Stopping at gas stations

Looking at scenery

Oregon actually looks a lot like Idaho, just more rocks and not as many tumbleweeds.

We were always SUPER excited to get out and stretch our legs. Hence, Emily's smile.

Once we got into Washington there was a lot more water, and a lot more green.

All these pictures were taken from the car, that's why you'll see seatbelts and dark lines along the edges of a lot of them.

There were lots of bridges too, so that you could cross over all that water.


There was this one river that just continued for eternity. It went on fore-e-e-ver. It just kept following us all over.

We finally got to Uncle Lee's and ate hot dogs and chips. One of the coolest things was that he had a pool.

That had a diving board. Jacob got lots of cool photos of jumping off (all the ones of Daniel were of him standing on the board and plugging his nose. And my mom didn't take any pictures of me)

Like I said, Jacob had lots of cool flips.

My swim shirt got lost in the car somewhere (typical) so I had to wear my Dad's huge gray one. It was okay, you couldn't tell too much in the water.

While we swam in the pool, the adults played bocce. (I personally think it's boring, but most people really like it)

If you've never played bocce, you must not know my parents very well. I think we play it at every family gathering, and at lots of the adults-from-the-neighborhood-get-together-and-eat-chips-and-play-mafia-game-night.

Alyssa is sort of attatched to my Dad, and when she broke her leg that increased. The world pretty much ends if he goes to work without getting her cereal. Or if anyone else takes her to the bathroom. Or if he sets her down.

But it's sort of cute.

They also had a really bouncy trampoline. Josh had fun on it too.

But that may be partially due to the fact that there was a half eaten capri-sun that he got to stab/squeeze to death.

It was pretty fun. Stay tuned for more!
