What a whirlwind of a trip !
So we planned on leaving the 8th of June on our 10 day summer vacation. By the time all was done we almost didn't get to leave on the 8th and our ten days extended into 22 days. As we started to get things ready to go Spencer had to take care of some of the new plants in the back yard so they wouldn't die while we were gone. He had to run some new soaker hose off the main sprinkler line. As he was searching for it he ended up hitting and that's were all our troubles began. No water for a day due to the break and all preparations for the trip at a stand still. Finally the morning of the 8th pipe was repaired and things back in motion, but we were way behind. Finally get on the road at 3:45 (we wanted to leave at about 8:00)
and we start the drive. We drove 2700 miles through out our whole trip, and yes we are airing out the car as we speak. We had a DVD player installed, that was a life saver. 
Wireless head phones are great. The only down fall to them is that the kids feel they need to talk really loud when they are on their ears, and Aubrey just can't seem to figure out how they work yet. Our first stop was to be Big Lake in the White Mountains of Arizona. On the way there we were almost plastered by three very large buck elk (it was dark by this time) , but Spencer's defensive driving t
raining really paid off. After our hearts stop beating out of our chests and breathing back to normal we finally arrive. Spencer and I set the tent up in about 2 minutes (it
was really cold) we had all cooked and eaten in about 5 minutes (did I mention it was cold?), then all settled in for a cold night in the tent. We all got up early to try to catch some fish, but not a single bite was to be had. I think our wards scout troop that went up a week earlier caught them all, and the kids were bored in about 2 seconds. So we went back to the camp site to have breakfast, explore, play some games, and pack up to head on up to Four Corners and Mesa Verde as our next stop/ adventure.
