Fox Family Freak Show Hits The Road!

We took our little circus on the road last weekend on our first family vacation with four kids four and under. We went to Boise, Idaho to see our friends the Popes. It was so fun to be out of the house and doing things together with family and friends.

I am thrilled to say that traveling with everyone was fairly uneventful. The babies behaved themselves remarkably well in the van. They slept, ate and played on the way there and I don’t remember any fussing or crying at all. (I was starting to think we should spend every day traveling!). There were some pretty crazy moments trying to keep the babies fed along the way.

They were angels while we were there too - and what baby wouldn’t be with five extra people giving them constant attention. We had a great time while we were there just hanging out. Their son Jacob was baptized on Saturday and it was such a special day. He is such a great example. The ride home wasn’t quite as smooth, but still relatively uneventful. All of the stopping along the way added a couple of hours to the trip, which was definitely rough on the boys. The first time Blake asked if we were there yet was when we had barely gotten to Pleasant Grove (about 10 minutes from our house). I wish I could say it got better.........

We couldn't leave home without video games, so we brought Rock Band to play. Although everone enjoyed it, I think Katelyn may be the one who had the most fun. I will try to get some cute video of her rocking out up later.
