Road trip aficionados

Don't get me wrong, we've had plenty of our share of when-will-this-be-over-are-we-there-yet moments, but considering this is our third cross-country trek for the summer, these kids have been super trooper awesome kiddos. Helps when we stop for slightly longer breaks like this one at a totally random park in Salt Lake City. 

For starters, Aotis got to have his first solo ride in a swing!! (Not sure who was having more fun here though!)

My three super travelers 

Arjen even found a basketball and a court with a junior height hoop at one end. He even made a few baskets!

And while I was really hoping they'd run around the whole time to burn off all that energy, they were impressively interested in learning how to play checkers. So we scrounged up some pebbles and wood chips, and played a makeshift game!

I may complain about wanting more consistency and routine in my life at times, but moments like these really make me appreciate the flexibility of my awesome little nomadic family!
