Day 182 and 183 - Road Trip to CA

Day 182 - the girls had their last day of VBS which included lots of bouncy house play.  That afternoon, we started off on our trek down to CA.  It took us 4 hours to go 80 miles!  Needless to say, that was a little too much together time for such a short stretch of road.  We were a tired and cranky bunch by the time we stopped for dinner.  We had to drive late into the evening to get to Eugene, OR and didn't get as far was we had hoped. 

Day 183 - lots more driving, but at least we weren't stuck in traffic.  As soon as we got to Grandma and Papa's (literally), we headed down to the community swimming pool. The girls had been talking about the pool for the last several hours of the trip.  It was so nice to be in weather warm enough that I actually wanted to jump into a pool.  The evening John and I took the girls on a "turkey-deer hunt".  This is what we typically call it when my Dad takes the girls up into the hills to look for deer and turkeys.  They almost never see anything when they are with Papa, but he didn't come along and sure enough we found some deer.  The girls were so excited about it and wanted to bring Papa back out sometime to show him the spot. I love love love these hills and couldn't wait to get up in them.  It was near sunset when we went up there - just beautiful!
