Thanksgiving Trip

Our trip to Shelley, Idaho; Spokane, Washington; Kalispell, Montana; then back to Utah...

First house we stayed at on our trip. We stayed in Shelley, Idaho at Kevin's parent's house. We had stopped there because we were saving gas by dropping off Tiffany so she didn't have drive by herself, we were going to pass right by Shelley anyways. We stayed there for one night to rest and then got back on the road.

Second house we stayed at, Jenny's house in Spokane, Washington. We got there on Wednesday and we left Friday morning. We spent Thanksgiving with the Jenny and her family. While we were there Abby was able to take family photos for them. Megan and Adam came to Spokane too.

Third house we stayed at, Klingensmith's house in Kalispell, Montana. We decided to go to Montana too because Pama and Papa were there for Thanksgiving, and we hadn't seen them for a while. We weren't too far away from them anyways. The Keesler's were there too. David, Rachelle and Timothy drove up on Wednesday to spend the holiday. It was a packed house but we all had a lot of fun. We played games with everyone like Apples to Apples, and Sardines. Sardine's is like Hide and Seek, except there is only one person who hides while everyone else looks. Once you find the hider, you squish next to them and everyone does the same until everyone is squished together. It was a lot of fun to see everyone getting into it.

Photos of the drive to Washington. We tried to take photos of each state sign when we drove through, We missed a few, but here are the ones we did get.

We were so excited when we saw the Washington sign because that meant we had less than an hour until we got to Jenny's house.

Photo's that Wesley took on our way to Montana. Wesley has a great eye for great photos. And yes, sadly he was driving at the same time, but never took his eyes off the road.

Wesley's photo again on our drive to Montana.

On our way to Montana Abby got really sick. She never threw up but she thought she was going to the whole four hour drive to the Klingensmith's house. She felt so bad that she was sick and didn't get to see the beautful drive there. Wesley took some really cool photos of the drive though.

This is what we saw on our way home on Sunday. We followed the Keesler's home. It was really nice to have other people on the road with us. We had Timothy and Kelsey in our car. David and Rachelle were by themsevles until we picked up Tiffany at lunch. We met Kevin and Tiffany for lunch in Dillon, Montana. Kevin was heading to Great Falls so he brought Tiffany to us which made it a little easier, but she spent an extra 4 unnecessary hours in the car. By the end of our trip we had been in the car for 24 hours and traveled 1625 miles. We were excited to be home and to be able to get out of the car. We had a great time on our trip other than Abby getting sick and Wesley returned home with a really bad cold. We are so grateful for our families and that we were able to spend time with both of our them over the Holidays.
