Road Trip To Dental School

Jay still happy after an entire day in the car. We had just seen the Columbus sign so I'm sure that's part of the smile on his face! In a way though I was a little sad to see the trip come to an end because we had anticipated this drive to Dental School for so long and the kids were so wonderful about spending many many hours in the car and we saw so many things. But, I was excited to see what was in store for this chapter of our lives!! There is no one better to go through it than with Jay. OHHHH!

WE ARE HERE! We were so excited to see this sign. You know how usually the last part of the drive is the worst. Well, it was not that way. We had really enjoyed our trip literally across the country and the last couple of hours went pretty fast. We just couldn't wait to see our apartment and start setting up home.

This was the only visible picture that I got of Carthage. We were not able to get out and walk around because of the rain but it was fun to drive through the town. I'm sure we will take a trip and tour the whole place. Plus, we were so exited to make it to Ohio by that night.

I liked how it looks like they are riding on top of the world.

It was so fun to go see the Temple with Jay. Even the rain added a certain mood to it.

It was really rainy and cloudy but if you click on this picture you will be able to see the Temple peeking out from the trees in the back.

These were the little townships as we entered into Nauvoo

On the road again. We left that next morning and it was raining hard. We could not beleive that this much water could come so quickley. We had to turn around and go another way. There were parts of our drive where we would be driving on flat road and the water was coming on all sides of us and we were a little weiry that we might not be able to carry on. But, the rain soon subsided and we were on our way  to nauvoo.

Tyler and Jenny took us bowling and it was so much fun. Tyler and Jenny: Thank you so much for letting us stay with you guys. You are such great friends and you will forever be part of our big move to Dental School!

I have to say that Lennix and Mckenzie are quite the bowlers. They did even better than I did. They loved it.

That's some nice form right there.

Jenny bowling with the kids.

We had to watch as the ball slowley got all the way down to the pins. I don't think there was ever a time where he didn't get at least a few down. 

Tyler is in Medical School and had to do some homework. His school is a DO School(Doctor of Osteopathy) So as he worked on Jay I got under the table to take some pictures and ended up laughing SOOO hard. 

Jay was a good sport! Sorry the pic is upside down!

Oh the days of Medical School. I'm sure we are not the last ones to be assessed in their front room.  Good Memories. 

Jensen fell asleep in the middle of the floor with his bottle in his mouth. I guess we tired him out from all the playing that day.

There was a big rain storm when we were at Tyler and Jenny's. We had so much fun and the rain puddle was the best part of the day. These are a few of the pictures that we took while we played in the rain.

Tyler and Jay had to get in on all the fun. They actually ended up staying out there for much longer than the kids. I'm glad they are still young at heart. OR maybe it's just the competitiveness coming out with every game they made up to play!! :)

Lennix and Kenzie had so much playing together

We took some refuge under the van door but didn't stay there much while we were out there

I sure hope that's good water. I love this picture.
