The trip home

We had a LOOOOOOONG drive home. The first day we drove to Gallup, NM. We thought this was an 8 hour drive. However, we discovered it was 9. Oh, the difference between 8 and 9 hours when you are sitting in the car with a bunch of little kids is huge. On the plus side, it meant our drive the second day was only 5 hours:) The kids did really well in the car. We stopped in Las Vegas after 5 hours to play at a park and then stopped in Albuquerque for dinner at McDonalds. The trip was really pretty uneventful except for Megan crying really hard and turning completely red (we think she had 5th disease).  After a night's sleep and a yummy breakfast, we headed out again. We stopped briefly in Payson to get out and play a bit and then drove home.

What a cute kid!

The park in Las Vegas had 3 old school metal slides. Lots of fun!

Our hotel room in Gallup. Not a lot of room to spare.
