We moved over the weekend. Dani and Whitney took the girls home on Saturday, and Clayton and I started our cross country road trip. Dani said the flights went well. The twins slept for most of the first flight and the car ride home. They spent the whole weekend with the Brandt’s, and apparently it was a good time. Ruby and Cora are so lucky that they’ll have cousins nearby.  I was dreading the drive to Utah.

I loaded up my phone with audio books and music, prepared lots of snacks, and had a list of people that I would call to talk to when I got drowsy.  Our trip had a rocky start.

They had a dozen or so different areas with cool sciencey things to play with.  (Abba helping the girls roll cars down a track) Clayton had just as much fun as the kids. He built a giant LEGO castle that ended up being a big hit with all the other kids at the museum.  Ruby like pretending to drink tea out of the little wooden tea set. She was so cute sipping air! Cora spent a lot of time pushing these carts around. She and Ruby both enjoy pushing strollers, carts, chairs, poppers, etc.  There was a little hospital section with a row of babies and a row of dogs in kennels. Both girls carried around babies and dogs most of the time we were there.  (Uncle Bri...
