We borrowed Grandpa Michael's car and headed due West from Boise, Idaho to Springfield, Oregon. (Thanks so much G'pa for lending us your vehicle! It was beyond generous.)
Unfortunately, the kiddos did not! do this the entire eight hours.
They sure look like sweethearts here!

If you've ever driven from Boise, Idaho to Springfield, Oregon you know most of the first 6 hours are AWWWful but the last two from Bend to Springfield are BEA-U-ti-ful. Oh how I've missed real mountains.
After two stops for gas, three or four to "tee tee" and one for lunch we arrived at Grammy's house.
She had a warm dinner waiting for us and a pantry full of kid snacks.
(those are skittles inside the containers)
The next day we stopped by GG's house to finally meet Mr. Buddy, the "d-o-g," and spend some time with my Grams (G.randma G.reat)
And then it was back to Grammy's house to get ready for the 4th of July cul-de-sac extravaganza.
Uncle Monkey (my brother Kevin) and Tyler hang out thinking about footballs.
They end up, however, playing with a soccer ball.
Meanwhile Lauren...um...is well, Lauren.
Finally, the West Coast sun went down and we set up camp.
Tia Mili, Grammy, ME, Tyler, Lauren & Uncle Brian
lighting the "big one"
Wowsers!!!!!
We were definitely the talk of the cul-de-sac! (wink)
Aunt Tia Mili is speechless at the amazing display of fireworks!
Hope y'all had a fantastic 4th of July. We'll be hanging out in Oregon for the next week. Be back soon.
