Friday July 20 was Russell's last day at work. We then finished packing both vehicles to start our road trip early the next day.
Emily spent a lot of time Friday trying to catch cuddles with Rascal. She will really miss him.
Our first day started at 4 am. The first highway we wanted to take closed after several miles so we had to pull over and figure out a new route. Heading up the hills east of LA a woman decided to cross the freeway between Russ and I. That was freaky. After we went up the hills we had another slight detour and found ourselves on a roller coaster road. The kids were so funny hollering as we went up and down over and over again.
As we drove through the desert the kids had fun talking to each other on the walkie talkies. It was amazing how much the kids "missed " each other and needed to use the walkie talkies. I had Camrynn, Emily, and William on the first day. Russ rode with Julie and Logan.
We stopped for a picnic lunch in Kingman,AZ. It was hot but nice to have a break from the car. Driving through AZ was gorgeous. We especially enjoyed all the neat clouds. Camie and Julie had quite the discussion on all the different types.
Camie actually gave quite a few science lessons all day long. It started with falling stars, then sunrise, clouds, and a few other things I don't remember.
Right before we got to Flagstaff we hit some major weather. We enjoyed all the cool lightning when we could see it from afar. It was not as much trying to drive in it when we could barely see. We made it though and went all the way to Winslow, AZ the first day. The kids did great and we were ready for the next day.
