Drive to Utah

The first part of April we headed to Utah to visit our families for two weeks we had a wonderful time and it was such a pretty drive. We headed a different way this time because we wanted to stop in St. George to Visit Derricks Grandpa McArthur. We ended up going through Arizona which was fun and skirted Grand Canyon National park. It was so fun to see a new area this time. The drive went very smoothly until we hit albuquerque NM. Just out side of albuquerque we got stopped because of an accident on the freeway and were stuck there for almost 3 hours at a dead standstill. luckily our kids were asleep for most of that time. We had decided to drive straight through so we were worried especially when we got stopped but they were so well behaved. Reid only stated to melt down the last 30 minutes of the 24 hour drive. We were so impressed with them. Here are a few scenic pictures from the drive!


 There were these wonderful purple floweres along the road in Arizona. It they were so pretty!
