Here We Go!

We woke the kids up at 2:00am to hit the road and head to Washington.  I walked into the girls' room and quietly said, "Sienna, it's time to go, please go brush your teeth and go potty with daddy."  She jumped right out of bed with excitement and ran to the bathroom.  Sadie heard me getting Sienna up and quickly jumped out of bed and followed her sister.  We got ready and hopped in the car.  Tanner fell right back to sleep and stayed asleep until 7:30.  Sadie also fell asleep pretty quick. Sienna stayed awake and kept Matt entertained for a few hours and then took a good nap.  We made great time that morning and didn't stop until 8 when we had to fill up the van and get some breakfast.

The kids were so great the entire drive.  There were only a couple moments of Tanner getting upset and each time it was when he woke up from a nap and realized he was still in the car.  He gave us a look of disgust, cried a little bit but then was completely fine.  I couldn't ask for better kids on a long drive, they really make it so easy and fun.

The girls thought it was neat driving through the night and watching the sun come up.  This picture does not accurately show what the van looked like for our drive.  It was so packed full of our things but somehow we managed to get it all to Washington with us.
