We made it!!

Ok here is the FINAL wrapup on the trip to Boise! Wanted to get in some pics and let the story end here :) We made it to our temp home while we continue to either 1) wait for our contract with our renters to be up or 2) purchase a new home!

Leaving Strongsville, OH

Headed into Indiana then Illinois....

Eating at Portillo's in Chicago. Ethan got a Chicago dog with a PICKLE!! ICK!!

And into Iowa. Which we were lucky enough to see the WORLD'S LARGEST TRUCKSTOP! Definitely worth a trip to Iowa...

The Mississippi River....looks COLD!!

Brylee enjoying the River and drive...she did SO well for going over 2,000 miles!

There was no welcome sign to Nebraksa so this is the best we could do. Which was fine with us because Omaha was the WORST weather and we plan to never, ever go back there!

Into Wyoming and Utah...

Took a break in Utah and played with cousins at the Utah Children's Museum..

I asked Alexis to give me her reporter face for this pic....too funny!

Said goodbye to the Henze clan and headed to Idaho...ALMOST HOME!!

Stopped in Preston, ID to see cousins, grandparents and great-grandparents. SO fun and so great to see everywhere! Kids got to meet their new Aunt Kelly too!

Of course, the fam had to pose for pics too...

Said goodbye to the Beckstead crew and headed the last 314 miles to Boise! Sunshine and clear skies!! I will say it again, we were EXTREMELY watched over during this trek home. We had a really good time as a family (which is a lot considering the quality time we had together!!)

Kids could barely wait for the truck to be parked when we arrived in good old Three Oaks and RAN down the street to find friends. Alexis found her good friend Maddy and played the day away, and also went to an activity day daddy/daugther date that night. SO FUN! Ethan and his good buddy Jordan were inseperable and went swimming at the hotel. They even decided to go to bed early so they could have more time the next day to play! There have been a lot of sweet reunions here. We are still missing our Ohio "family" terribly, but looking forward to visiting again soon! And now the story of the Beckstead family continues in good old Boise, Idaho.
