We made our first family road trip to Arizona this year to surprise Oma and celebrate Eden's first Thanksgiving in her new house. The trip was over two 10 hour days in the car and surprisingly the boys did great. Between the movies, snacks and periodic stops the boys were entertained. Our first stop was in Las Cruses, NM where the boys got to see and play in snow. For their first time experiencing snow I was amused by how they immediately gravitated to making snowballs and throwing them at each other. It must be a skill built into the Y chromosome. Once in Arizona we pulled off the best surprise for my mom by running into her in a grocery store. She thought we are staying in Texas for the holiday so when she saw us it was such a surprise and it wasn't until I said "Mom!" that she believed who she was looking at. The boys thought it was great and gave her big hugs.
