Just Married: Part 2 – Oregon

After Dave & Liz’s wedding in San Diego, Nate drove back to Utah and Bennett and I rode with most of my family up to my parents’ house in Oregon. We did the trek in 2 days – 10 hrs the first day to Jake and Stacey’s in San Jose, and about 6 hours the next day. For most of the trip, it was my sister Jessica and I in her van with our 4 boys – 5, 2 1/2, 18mos, and 6 weeks. Considering the circumstances, it went pretty well but we definitely had moments of craziness. Bennett had fun trying out Kallie’s toys when we were at Jake & Stacey’s:

From top to bottom, left to right: playing cars with grandma’s garage, playing with the marble track my Grandpa Landon made, looking for frogs, playing tennis/raquetball with Grandma Landon, learning about potato bugs, taking a bath, the grandkids eating breakfast together, and posing with their new PJs from grandma Landon.
