Hill Cumorah or bust, day 1 and 2

Here is Michael during a sunny day of life guarding at the Scera pool.
Hopefully he will have a job after taking 5 weeks off.
Goodbye Mt. Timpanogas! For those of you who are just tuning in, our whole family is driving back East to participate in the Church’s Hill Cumorah pageant. We will be part of a cast of 700, rehearse for a week and then perform for a week. On the way, we are stopping in Chicago, Cedar Point amusement park, Kirtland, and the Palmyra for 16 days. After that, we will see Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Virginia. So far we have been on I-80 and Nelson says we will be seeing a lot of the same for a while. Yesterday we drove about 550 miles and today we will drive around 860. Here are a few shots of what we do when we drive.

Boys playing on their DS.
Nelson Driving (he does this A LOT)
Caroline watching a movie.

Katie reading Harry Potter 7. She just finished re-reading 6 in anticipation of the new movie.
We may have time to see it on our trip. We’ll see.
Well, highlights so far are crossing the Continental Divide, 50 Cent ice-cream cones at Little America ( and then rip-off gas at the station, we’re suckers), passing the Cabella’s world headquarters (it was in the 6AM hour so I didn’t wake anyone), roadkill, corn fields, Michael’s first motorhome driving experience, and the kids trying to learn to play our new guitar. Tune in later for more breath-stopping experiences. We will be in Chicago tomorrow...
