Road Trip! - part one

For fall break we took a road trip to Sacramento to visit Great Grandma & Grandpa Miyake & Auntie Cook & Uncle Bob! We seriously had a BLAST! The whole trip was amazing! It was so great to see family, and both of the kids did so great on the loooooooong drive! While we were there Derek kept asking how we could make the time go slower! We are so glad that we were able to go!
Before we left, Ryan made sure we had enough snacks for the long car ride!
Taking a lunch break in Elko, Nevada. We ate on the grass & brought our soccer ball & frisbees so we could all run around and play for a bit!
The first night we stayed in a hotel in Reno! It was a lot of fun to stay in a hotel - we went swimming and watched cartoons and just played - and it was also nice to break up the drive a little bit!
Cooper J. - happy to be able to move around!
Daddy and Scooter! ...yeah, they look pretty happy to be out of the car too!!
While we were in Reno we were able to go to Trader Joes - I've always wanted to go there! We bought some super yummy snacks there because, hey, we needed a few more snacks, haha! But seriously, it was fun to go there! I wish we had a Trader Joe's in Utah! Anywhoo... this picture is not of us at Trader Joes, but there is a Trader Joe's yogurt container on the table which made me think of it...
The next day we made it to Sacramento! And the following day we went to this cute amusement park! Derek loved riding all of the rides!
And Coop enjoyed watching! (I love how you can see his teeth in this picture!)
Cooper and Great Grandma!
Me and the boys!
Derek loved all of the rides - I think he could have just kept going on them all day!
And Cooper loved the carousel...until it started moving! Then he was trying to climb off that horse & he was hanging onto my shirt for dear life! haha!
Getting brave! Derek started waving his hands in the air!
We have so many fun pictures from our road trip - that I decided to post them in 2 parts! So.... part 2 is coming soon!!!
