Father's Day Weekend, we headed out for our first big road trip with the girls. Our final destination was Arizona to visit my family, but we stopped in South Dakota and Colorado for visits on the way there, and in New Mexico and South Dakota on the way back. The girls did an amazing job, well enough that in our final hours of the drive (which was about four thousand miles) we were talking about what road trips we should do next.
First up? The drive.
We spent our time in the car reading books, playing "I Spy,"singing songs, telling stories, and taking naps. Annie got quite good at her sewing cards, and tried out her technique on her pacifier. Siri got quite attached to her nursery rhyme book, and Annie indulged her by singing the rhymes for her as she flipped page by page.
We all enjoyed looking at the scenery change from the plains of Minnesota, South Dakota, and Nebraska, to the Rocky Mountains and Sonoran Desert. We saw impressive summer storms (Annie kept wishing for a tornado, we were glad NOT to encounter any!), and beautiful sunsets.
More on our adventures to follow soon...

Beautiful pictures! I remember long car trips when my girls were tiny. I kept a bag of new (cheap) diversions at my feet, and handed back a new surprise when we passed certain mile-markers, road signs, or landmarks that they had to be watching for.
