Report on Nauvoo... FINALLY!!!!

I just had to share a little bit of the pre-trip chaos!!! Packing for seven people is certainly a MAJOR feat!!! My brain hurt after this one!
O.K. , I know that I need some help! I really shouldn't be so anal, but I have learned that if you leave the boys to pack their own clothes, nothing will match and MUCH will be forgotten!
It was a happy day when I got to this point and had the suitcases ready top shut!

The modern day pioneer wagon... completely stuffed to the brim with everything under the sun for an amazing trip! Bikes..a REAL wagon, you name it! We decided this year that it would be a good idea to bring along the kids bikes so that they could burn off a little of the excess energy that they all seem to have. What is amazing is the fact that we really found they still had excess energy...after all the long days of rehearsals you would think that they would be totally burnout, but NO, not our kids! If only I could borrow a little from them every day! More to come later on the Nauvoo trip! Migraine headaches are not good to deal with while you blog. I think we'll stop until tomorrow!

SO FUN!!! I LOVE these memories you're making! What is that little trailer thing called and where did you get it? I want one for our camping trips!

I love all your little piles and piles of outfits. I do the exact same thing when I pack for trips. But Jared's in charge of making it all fit in the suitcases and into the car. He has an amazing talent of fitting an entire room of STUFF into our tiny little van.
