december road trip part 2
We had a great night in Lincoln at the Country Inn & Suites, which had a heated pool that was actually warm! That alone is worthy of five stars in our book.
Day 2 of the trek went well, despite some moments of rebellion spurred by boredom. We had a good rest stop in Sidney, NE, where we stopped at the Walmart and ran around the store doing a scavenger hunt. Unfortunately Camille and Nate had finished our book on day 1, so just had to listen to the kids' movies. Harry Potter 1 and 2 (again). Afterward, Simeon was especially upset that we were going to watch Tangled, so he freaked out for about half an hour.
Eventually we made it to Salt Lake, just in time for a great party with the Thompsons and Hammers. Hooray!

another road trip
Once again we have piled everyone into the Sienna for a trip out to Salt Lake. We left early Thursday morning and made it to Lincoln, Nebraska to complete day 1 of our journey! Hooray for some great weather!

nesquick bandit
important safety tip: don't leave a three-year-old alone with the ingredients of something as yummy as chocolate milk. Thanks to Sophie's creativity, we ended up with a quart and a half of chocolate milk in our milk container, plus plenty of extra nesquick all over the kitchen (and all over Sophie).
Also notice the set of Sharpie markers that she's sitting on. Yeah, our kitchen is a mess waiting to happen!

End-of-year school talent show
Luke and Izzy participated in their school's talent show, each deciding to play a piece on the piano. They both did great! Izzy played Beauty and the Beast, and Luke played Jon Schmidt's Waterfall.

resolution
Ok, fine, I will update our family blog!
After repeated frustration on Camille's part that I have been keeping the kids' soccer team's blog up to date but have not been putting as much effort into our family's blog, I've finally given in and will start updating this blog as well. There's going to be a lot of back-filling to do in order to get caught up, but that's how things go sometimes.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the updates as they start getting posted.
