On the road again

And much too soon our Oregon vacation was over and it was time to get back to the business of moving.  We stopped in Umatilla to visit my brother, Will and his family.  It was a quick visit and I didn't get any pictures.   But it was nice to see them.  We made it to Twin Falls, Idaho the first night, which has a very beautiful gorge and waterfalls to see.

The next day we were on our way again.  We drove through Utah, Wyoming and back into Colorado Springs.  Here is the Devil's Slide in Utah, an interesting rock formation we pass along the way.

In Colorado the sky was very dark.  We thought it might be smoke from the fires, but it turned out to be just a thunderstorm.  Hopefully the rain is helping with the fires.

We stayed a day in Colorado Springs to do some last things with the house and Scott checked out from the base there.  We went to YoYogurt one last time.

 The kids always like going there.

 We have and will continue to do lots of eating out.  It will be nice to have a kitchen again.
Scott's parents flew to Colorado Springs and helped us drive the other car from Colorado to Illinois.

 Here are the kids as we leave Colorado.  Excited for new adventures.

 John was a pretty good traveler all things considered

 Goodbye Pike's Peak and Rocky Mountains!!

 and hello Kansas
Kansas was super windy and also gave us a flat tire.  We spent a long time in a Walmart in Junction City, Kansas getting the car tire patched.  But soon enough we were on our way again.

Staying in hotels with our two little guys is an adventure in itself.  I REALLY miss Grant's "cribby."  It's nice to have a place to contain him.

And here is Missouri!
We took a little detour to Branson, Missouri just to see what it was like.
More of our Branson adventures to come.
