I decided last minute to take the kiddies up to Idaho because Jason had a lot of work to get done last week. I called my sister Amy and she was so excited to have us come up and stay with her. I woke up on Friday at 5 am and drove straigt through the 14 hour drive to Idaho. Crazy...Yes! Worth it...even more so! Brooke didn't sleep at all even though she woke up at 5! She is such a crazy and strong willed child. We stopped once in Saint George to eat at Nielson's (one of my favorites.) We got a grinder and a super yummy custard ice cream. Brooke ate more than I did. We did make a total of about 15 stops up there but they we very quick potty and nursing trips. My secret to traveling with a toddler and a baby? A port a potty in your car. Yep we stopped in the middle of nowhere everytime, and just pulled off the freeway ramp did a quick nurse and a potty break and we were off again. Brooke did pretty good on the drive but kept asking "did we find Aunt Amy yet?" It was so cute but also very annoying to hear every few minutes. Brooke loved to look out the window and ask me what things were. When we passed Las Vegas she said "Oh my what a beautiful castle!" She is so funny! Once we got to my sister's house at 8:30 PM we sat on the lawn and let everyone get aquainted. Brooke was so happy to get out of the car and be with her cousins. She was moving so much I couldn't even snap a photo of her. Preston was a super champ and slept the whole way, aside from a few diaper changes and nursing breaks. He did cry the last 20 mins of the trip...he was just sick of the car.
