Road Trip Chronicles: Vol II

Well, when we named the last post Road Trip Chronicles: Vol. I, we didn't think that vol. II would actually be a continuation of the first trip... but once again this summer we found ourselves adventure seeking in Moab (rough problem to have, we know..). We packed up the jeep and hit the road for the 4th of July weekend sans motorhome hoping to find some better weather and more comfortable fun!

Our first adventure? Dinner at the 5 Star in Gunnison. We hadn't been there before and it was the perfect drive in for a summer road trip.


In Moab we met up with Grandma & Grandpa for the annual 4th of July parade which is pretty much put on by citizens of  Moab. It's pretty small and unfortunately poorly attended. But of course that means we get all the taffy and tootsie rolls we can eat... until next 4th of July!


Then we spent the morning at the farmer's market at the city park where we tried some new foods, some authentic fry bread, and Jami & Scott competed in a watermelon eating contest (which will not be pictured here as we were both defeated by an 8 year old with a hole in the bottom of his foot!) The highlight of the morning had to be the chance for Rylee & Luke to ride a camel around the park!!



...And some more playtime...



...and some more...



This trip we were lucky enough to have all kinds of family hanging around and we met up with the Other Holdaways for some BBQing, swimming at the campground pool, and hanging out at Hole in the Rock.


We loved having both Grandma & Grandpa with us as well as having the cousins to play with and all in all it was a pretty great trip!



So, what have you guys been up to?
