"Never wake a sleeping baby!"

A couple of weekends ago Landon and his parents, Kari and Brian invited us to join them for a get away in the mountains. Albert was unfortunately flying to Europe for work, but Zack and I decide to accept.

We all piled into the Sequoia. No sense in taking two vehicles, and besides, why else did we buy such a huge truck? (We balance out our "Eco Footprint" by also driving a "mini". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_footprint


Starting in the “way back”, Hailie, Bowen, (behind super cool mirror) Shawn, Zack, (in brown seat, not pictured) Landon, Kari (in mirror) and Brian (not pictured, because he was driving and taking pic). Storm and Shadow stayed home this time...that will be an adventure for another weekend.
The idea of one vehicle was perfect except for the challenge of figuring out the "right time" for two little guys to both be in the mood for the long drive.


One was happy playing with toys, Zack and the other was ready for nap and crying, Landon. Then visa versa. When Z was done playing with his one hundred toys, he screamed and Landon slept. At least it only took two stops to get to Silverthorne.


The boys had a great time play together. Yes, even LT had fun with some Z's toys. We also discovered that they have matching zebra's.
The trip home was pretty much the same as up but finally they both crashed about half the way home!! Like they say " NEVER wake a sleeping baby" so we skipped the traditional stop for food in Idaho Springs and made it home without so much as a peep from either little guys.
