The Drive to Houston

 The above photo is the beginning of our LONG journey.  We left our house in Orem around 11 am Tuesday.  Christian and Jimmy drove the Penske truck and I drove the Odessey with the other 3 kids and Scotty.  We decided to folllow the guys which was interesting up the hills.  Emalee took all of the photos. At first it was going to be documenting the trip of the Penske truck.  It's in all of the pictures because they were in front of us.  It turned out to be a game for awhile. 



 As  you can see the clouds were around and we ended up getting some weather all through Moab and a little further.  Not fun to drive in.



 Some really cool scenery.  I had never been to this area of Utah. 





 I think this was in New Mexico.  I really can't remember though.

This was a cool forest area. Don't ask where ?



 We made it to Texas!! Let's just say that it's the beginning of Texas!! We drove for a VERY long time after that.

 Scotty spent the whole trip either on Emalee's lap or on the space by her feet. He did really well.


 College Station, Texas isn't too far from Houston. Maybe 2 hours or so.

 Typical Texas, 2 lane highway with a median in the middle.  We saw that most of the drive.  Very green and lots of trees.  It was a pretty drive. 

 Finally on the 290!! We are getting closer!
 OUR exit!! Only 10 minutes from our new home.

 Our first stop was in Farmington, New Mexico.  We had no idea what to eat so there was a Denny's right next door.  I took the 4 kids and we ate there.  
 Alex and Jimmy got to sleep on the floor.  Alex was super tired.
 Reagan all cozy in her bed. The big kids in the background.
