The Big Little Road Trip...

All of the cousins hanging out in a cave
Aeden says to Bryan as Bryan is getting ready to take the picture,
"Dad, can I make a funny face?"

The one and only picture we have to prove Bryan was in fact there :)

Bryan set out at 4 am yesterday morning with Zerin, Liah and Aeden to go hike the Arches with his brother's family.  I really wanted to go, but I had a yucky feeling about it, so I opted to stay home with the two youngers.  Turns out, Asher spent most of the day throwing up, so it seemed to be a good thing I stayed home.  They got to the trailhead just before 9 am, and pulled in the driveway just after 10 pm last night.  A long day to be sure, but they had a wonderful time.  I will tell you what though, my nerves were sure glad to see that van roll into my driveway :)  Thank goodness for good friends with fun projects (not to mention a barfing child) to keep me busy throughout the day.

We did that hike to Delicate Arch a few years ago (after we'd done little hikes all day). We weren't sure we were all going to make it. You have tough kids! That's a long day of driving & hiking. I'm glad they made it home safe, too!
