The Drive

We drove back to Portland yesterday, we left SLC (well, Lehi) at 8am sharp. We only stopped a few times and got here in record time, 11 hours 53 minutes.

Multnomah Falls

Columbia River

Russ taking pictures while driving, shame.

Logan playing with Jaida's ball she got from school, he LoVeD it! He would giggle and laugh so hard when we'd throw it around the van! All in all it was a nice drive, the kids did awesome!

Ashlee said...: So glad to have you home. That drive is SOOO long and boring! I never thought of a beach ball to bounce around- lots of fun! I'm glad you guys got to stay so long- that way the drive doesn't seem too bad. :); July 16, 2008 at 2:20 PM
