    Crazy week before the road trip

    This week has been exhausting. The kids undoing as I do...
    Tuesday we are off on a road trip to the desert, Sedona, the Grand Canyon. Been planning on this for a long time. We have one more day to make ready. Hope everyone survives the momster tomorrow. Hehe. See you all in about 3 weeks!

    Have fun! Have you been to the Grand Canyon before? It is incredible.

    Plan for the unexpected. I drove all the kids to Texas for spring break two years ago. The air conditioning went out on the van. Two kids got a stomach bug. We got stuck in a blizzard in Amarillo. The Grand Canyon was really windy and they kids were miserable. Then we got stuck in a sandstorm in the Mojave, without a/c.

    So my advice- bring buckets, windbreakers and lots of entertainment.

    lol, "momster". Hope you guys have a fun trip. When I was a kid we went down to the states and the Grand Canyon, and all I remember was my bro got hit by a faulty firework. And we visited caves somewhere.
    Let's see if my above post is deleted without explanation. Wouldn't be the first time.

    Life is funny stuff! Yes, we have buckets! Little ones for the girls, but they'll do. We have coats fo sho! And books and pens and some paper and media. I grew up in the desert since 8 1/2 and learned to pack from my parents who were always pretty thorough cause they were broke, but creative and made sure we had stuff to make do. I should add the kids scissors, glue and maybe some construction paper too. Thanks for the happy sendoff!
    I'm in a pretty good mood too, so maybe momster won't appear till much later in the day. Maybe not at all, but that would be a first.

    Oh, yeah, and we have been there before, but this will be the first time for the kids. I remember going as a kid, and thinking wow, this is great, a big crevace in the earth, in a desert, what's the big deal? So, I could not let my kids grow up without that, lol. I have missed the desert so much though. It grows on you, little by little and then you have to return, even if it takes years.
