Jelly Belly Factory
We wanted to do one more fun thing with the kids before we started the long drive home. We heard there was The Jelly Belly Factory, halfway between San Francisco and Sacramento. It offered free factory tours and free samples of jelly beans. One of the nice things about traveling, is that I get a…

Bethel Church-Redding
When we planned this trip(you know the night before) we tried to work things so we would be in Redding on Sunday morning. Bethel church has ministered to us in a lot of ways. Brandon listens to podcasts from Bill Johnson very often. I listen to worship music pretty often. I love how worship music…

Yosemite National Park
Last night Brandon and I reached our breaking point, as far as being tired goes. We went out to eat after seeing Sequioia at a brewery. We didn’t get seated until 8:30 pacific time. By the time our food came, our kids were all sound asleep, with the exception of Isla. We woke them up…

Sequoia National Park
Last night was one of the most miserable nights of sleep I’ve gotten in awhile. We didn’t leave Vegas until 7:30pm(10:30 Michigan time). I was so wiped out on the six hour drive to our next hotel in California. I kept falling asleep. It was a very restless, panicky sleep. I kept waking up to…

Travel Day
Today did not start out the greatest. Long story short we had to take Caed to Urgent Care. Poor Little guy has been fighting a cough for a few days. Last night he was absolutely miserable. He barely slept from coughing all night. Poor little guy was so nervous the doctor was going to give…

Salt Lake City
We woke up today to no running water in our little cabin. We thought maybe the campground turned it off at night so the pipes wouldn’t freeze or something. After 1.5 hours of it being off, we called the office because we thought it seemed strange. They sent someone to fix the problem. Brielle was…

Arrival in Utah
What started as a very smooth trip, did not end nearly as smooth. What should have taken us 5 hours to drive(to finish up the trip) took us 8. Between the terrible weather in Wyoming and my kids pea size bladders, it took us forever to get here. Wyoming is not my favorite state, that’s…

The Drive
We decided to drive straight through to Salt Lake City since there are two drivers. The nice thing about not having the RV is that I’m able to drive without risking the lives of everyone in our vehicle and on the road. We didn’t want to get a hotel for only a few hours, unload…

We are Crazy
Last night after we got our kids to bed, I was totally exhausted. I had just finally sat down to relax. Our conversation went something like this. Brandon : You know I leave for a work trip tomorrow and will be gone all week right? Me: Yes. You can stop bragging. I remember, and I’m…

Family Day Out
We had a very busy weekend. Saturday evening we went to two different Live Nativities. The first one was at Bay Shore Camp. Last year Brandon, myself, Joah, and Isla were in their Live Nativity. I asked Joah if he remembered his part last year. I was Mary, Brandon was Joseph, Isla was Jesus,…
