Road Trip!

 Mark and Allison took a road trip to Arizona for Spring Break.  As they were stopping off to watch the Beavers play in the Sweet Sixteen Heidi and I decided to tag along for the first leg.  We spent nine hours in the car on the first day - whew!

 Heidi was super excited to stay in to stay in the hotel and play in the pool - except we were busy watching a basketball game so she played in the tub instead!

 We took the girls to the Stockton Children's Museum before the game.  Heidi loved roasting marshmallows at the 'fire' the reminded you to put it out with the bucket of 'water' next to it.

 Unfortunately the Beaver's lost.  Mark and Allison headed out and then Heidi and I were on our own.  Entertaining her in a hotel wasn't the easiest - but we managed to make it work.

 We broke our trip home into 2 days (one good thing about the Beaver's losing).  We stopped at our friend's the DeRoss' in Weed by Mt Shasta on the way home for the night.  Heidi loved being doted on by two grandparent figures - and I loved having her be entertained and a comfy bed.  We love seeing the them when they come to visit their real grand-kids every few weeks, too!

 Heidi spent her entire trip looking just like this!  She stayed content when she watched movies and that was about it.  We stopped at just about every other rest stop to run around and it worked.

 I promised her ice cream when we got home - and I had to make good on it as soon as we pulled into town.

 This was the ONLY time she slept in the car the entire trip.  In Jack's van on our way home after dropping off the rental car.  I couldn't believe she FINALLY slept.  And I love that she was all decked out in her Beaver gear in Jack's Duck van!!
