Isaiah & I decided to make a family journey to Utah to visit family we have out there. The trip was awesome. Everyday was jammed packed with fun adventures. The kids traveled really well for how long of a drive it is (24 hours). We chose to drive through the night, so Melody would sleep a large portion of it. We also had installed a dvd player in the truck, but sad to say it only worked twice and then the rest of the trip we had to survive the old fashion way.
Leaving Missouri it was hot, but once we got into the Rockies it turned cold and stormy. We had to stop and do a wardrobe change. You can see the storm behind us. We spent the first few days in Delta with my family. Everyone landed at my sisters house, and we ended up with 32 people there. Lets just say every inch of floor space was taken. Of those 32 people, 10 were kids under the age of 8. Isaiah took the three oldest kids hiking up Oak City Canyon by himself. They had a great time.

They ended up hiking to the top of a mountain. What a beautiful view.
They also found this giant mushroom. We could barely fit two of them in a large garbage bag.Everyone had brought four wheelers to go riding. The first day we went to an old volcano out on the desert. It was a lot of fun.
This is the trailer of bikes and quads Slade and March brought from Missouri. It was quite a sight to see.

On the back side of the volcano was this awesome lava flow. Isaiah and I with the kids hiked to the top of it. It was so a incredible thing to see.
It was hot out in the desert, so we had to have a watermelon brake. Melody and Elisa loved it.
At lunch time, everyone crammed under this little cedar tree to try and get some shade. Lets just say by the end of the day everyone was dirty from sitting in the sand and hot.
The next day everyone went up to Oak City Canyon and rode around. Benjamin got to ride with his best buddy Brooke on her little four wheeler. They were so cute together.
