Driving to Idaho

School got out on Friday, June 15th and we left for Idaho on Saturday, June 16th!  Since I am not a huge fan of car road trips I knew I needed to find a way to entertain myself.  Early on I decided I was going to take a picture (or a few) of Isaiah (and a few of Daddy) every hour.  We left our house around 9:15am so I began the picture taking at 9:30am and continued every hour after until we got to Emmett, Idaho.  This ended up being a fun activity to keep me somewhat occupied/distracted from the drive.

9:30 am- Relaxing and istening to his favorite kids mix with "oo oo ah ah".  The rest of the morning was also filled with other kids CD's.

10:30am (or possibly a little earlier)- Coffee break in Clackamas for Daddy and Mommy

 Isaiah wanted to hold cow somewhere close to 10:30am also

11:30 am- Bathroom break for Daddy and Mommy because we drank coffee and a fruit leather snack break for Isaiah.

Between 11:30am and 12:30 pm- windmills!  Isaiah had a grand time learning about windmills.  He wanted to call them "y's" and "blenders" and "candles".

12:30pm- Mommy needed another bathroom break.  We stopped at little bit before Hermiston at a rest stop...and it was one of the nicest rest stops I have ever visited!

 The thermostat was registering pretty high...and it felt pretty warm too!

Isaiah started eating his lunch in the car after this stop.

 Who doesn't want to eat lunch with their feet up?

 AND drink chocolate milk in the backseat...mostly unsupervised!

 1:30pm- Mommy and Daddy were ready to stop for lunch.

2:30pm- We wanted him to take a nap.  I was trying to set a good example for Isaiah so I decided to take my first car road trip nap of the day too.  I only napped for about an hour of the whole drive!

 Isaiah didn't fall asleep until after 2:30 so he was still awake during this hour photo shot.

3:30pm-Isaiah was still napping.  He also only napped for about one hour of the whole car ride road trip!

3:30pm Travis was still driving us to Idaho!

4:30 pm- We finally busted out the new toy for entertainment sake.  The new toy is supposed to be a baby toy, a TV remote.  My sister bought it for her son Greyson, but Campbell her older son (around Isaiah's age) loved it and commandeered it!  Thus he showed Isaiah how cool it was and Isaiah has been asking for "Campbell phone" ever since he played with it last week.  Silly boys, but thankful it brightened our mood the other day.

5:30 pm- Getting tired of riding in the car...stretch!

 5:30 pm- First stop for gas.  Isaiah thought it was hilarious to watch Travis wash the window.  He was cracking up and giggling in the back seat while Daddy cleaned the window.

6:30pm- no picture, but we arrived safely to Emmett, Idaho!  Now for a week of fun!
