Last day in Utah and the Drive/Flight

Tayson had to play with the train one last time on tuesday (the last day at Papa and Nana's house). He loves this train and spent quite a bit of time playing with it and hanging out with Papa right before we left.

We woke up early on Wednesday morning to get a head start while the kids slept a little more, unfortunately Brady didn't wake up to his alarm so we got a start an hour later than hoped for, but he made good time driving, so we still arrived in Cedar City early enough to take my brother, Regan, to breakfast at IHOP and spend time with him (he is at school at SUU). The boys had fun with him and hanging out at his apartment for a little while afterwards, it was a good time to let them out of the car to play so they would be happy when they got back in the car.

We also stopped by my grandparents house in St. George to say goodbye before continuing toward Pheonix. My grandpa was out shooting, so we hung out with Grandma Matheson for a while and let the boys play as well. Grandma and Grandpa Matheson gave the boys adorable stuffed animal puppets that bark and quack songs when you move their mouths. They are SOOO cute and the boys love them. The duck sings "Old McDonald had a farm" and the dog sings "BINGO" and "How much is that doggy in the window". Camden can't quite use it like a puppet so he puts his hand in and then uses his other had to open and close the mouth. Thank you so much Grandma and Grandpa for everything!

Grandma took a picture of our family for us as well before we continued on the drive. It is the most recent picture we have as of now so I figured I'd better post it.

We finally made it to AZ Wednesday night and stayed with Brady's aunt and uncle that night. The next day we made a trip to Walmart to get a couple supplies and then headed to the airport for our flight. The kids were great on the plane for the most part (Camden had about 20 minutes where he was sick of sitting, but he was fine after that). The kids were great travelers overall both in the car and on the plane. We've always felt like we have good travelers for kids, but this time they were Champions!!! Camden had about 20 minutes of frustration in the car as well, but that was it. My prayers were filled with much thanks both Wednesday and Thursday night for the help from our Heavenly Father. We were very blessed!
