Tuesday – games in the morning and Erica and her kids came to play with us! That afternoon we went to the Park for ultimate and football and pizza. That night mom made her Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup and we played more games and watched BYU basketball.

Cali and Gabriella are just one month apart - I love how they are wrestling here.

Wednesday – all of the kids went to Kevin and Liz’s in the morning to play on their new swing set, We played more games at Gmas – TwinkleBear, Nertz, Dominion, Ticket, and Small World were some of the regulars. The Eggers left that afternoon and that evening my mom watched the kids so Ben and I could go to dinner with some Friends! and we played games before bed 🙂

I still hadn't unpacked my camera at this point in the trip - Angelee took this one of the girls at Righteous Burger.

Thursday – We went over to say bye to Than and Erica, played games, Brittney came over, I shopped with mom and then at 4:00 we left for the Kings game in Sacramento. We met up with Josh and Payton and the Eggers so we had 20 of us at the game and we all cheered for Jimmer. And again my mom stayed home and watched my kids! We got home late and watched the recorded byu basketball game before crashing.

Packer and Grandpa Robertson on our last night.

Monday- 7:30 leave (already 8:30 Utah time), Nevada City = Speeding Ticket! ok – we were speeding but you were camped out 5 ft before the speed limit increases by 10 and we would have been fine – not cool. The most not cool part was that all of the kids were asleep – awoken abruptly by the police man 🙁 and Ben rolled down his window for the cop MOMENTARILY FORGETTING that our windows are broken! So we got a ticket, had 4 wide awake kids and then played freeze-out for the next 2 hours while we tried to crank on the window and get it all the way up!! not fun. Next time I’ll keep driving and mail you the 300$! From there we only stopped in Lovelock and then Wendover at 4:00, grabbed Mcdonalds for tha too many-eth time that month. Another successful 11 hour trip!

headed home! DVD player(check), PSP(check), Tablet(check), Laptop(check), MP3 player(check), Dads Phone(check), Moms Nook(check) and a few toys and snacks!
