Well this summer we did a family vacation (on my side) to Virginia where my sister Emma and her family live. Since Sophie can't fly on planes because of her oxygen need, I knew that I was going to have to drive. However because there was no way that Damon could take that much time of work my dad was gracious enough to come along. The drive there the girls did so good. We left Friday morning and got to Virginia I think Wednesday evening. Along the way we stopped in so many church historical sites. It was really neat. So for the next few days I am going to be FINALLY blogging about our trip. Now be warned they will be very long posts.
Somewhere in Wyoming.
At a rest area but I just loved the look of the windmills in the horizon.
Blowing bubbles, a sure way to keep a toddler and five year old entertained.
At Winter Quarters visitor center in Nebraska, such a neat place and a great place to stop for a few hours.
My pioneer children. Olivia getting to see what it is like to pull a hand cart.
Winter Quarters temple.
Flooding in Iowa, they had so much that part of the freeway was closed, making us get lost and spending a couple of extra hours on the road.
Look at all those sandbags along the road!
So many cornfields in Iowa, I have never seen so much corn in my life!
An Amish family! I was so EXCITED to see them. I have never seen Amish before and thought it was really neat. They were very nice and gave me a wave as we drove by.
Mississippi River, was even bigger than I had imagined!

Thanks! It's so cool to see where you guys went. Did they give the girls those bonnets and skirts to wear in the Pioneer museum?
Yey Sian, a blog! All the pictures look great - bet you had a fab time. Hope Olivia has a great day at school tomorrow xxx
What an adventure can't wait to read more.
