7 states in 10 days

This is my brother Michael, his wife, Kristine, and their children Kylie, Zach, and Blake that we visited.

While Matthew was in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Ethan and I decided to take a road trip! We went with my parents and drove to my brother's house in Safford, AZ. We drove 8 hours one day with many stops and stayed the night in Gallup, NM. Then we drove the rest of the way (5 hours) to Safford, AZ. The shortest distance was going through CO, NM, and then AZ. Plus flying into UT, leaving VA, and having layovers in TX and IL. Ethan was awesome in the car, he barely even cried!

He had such a fun time with my parents, and we made many stops. This one was in Indian City in NM I think.

We really wanted to find the temple in Snowflake, AZ, but couldn't. We stopped to get some lunch, and saw some high school aged children who were dressed in church clothes. We could just tell they knew where the temple was, and they did!!

Kylie, Zach, and Ethan were being super cozy.

At the Graham museum, my father is taking the picture.

Ethan had a great time playing with his boy cousins, and especially wrestling with Zach. I am glad my dad caught this funny picture of Ethan trying to get the frisbee off of Blake's head.

My mom and Zach and Ethan playing marbles.

Ethan and Kylie being cozy.

They had this awesome train that no longer runs that Ethan loved! This was next to the Discovery Center with lots of fun things for kids to do and the worlds second largest telescope.

A giant tire!!

Michael and Kristine were great hosts for my parents and I. They made great food, were fun company, and we had a great time with them.

I got to spend three more days in Utah with the rest of my siblings, but forgot to take pictures! It was great to see everyone, and Matthew and Ethan and I are happy to be reunited:) Ehtan is still talking about his cousins and grandparents, and how much he misses them:( Pictures of Dar es Salaam coming soon!
