California!!! July 4th

We FINALLY made our trip to California to pick up Stephen's truck that he got from his Grandpa. We were able to leave the kid's with Grandma and Grandpa after the Smith reunion and headed out. We had so much fun visiting with his Grandma and talking with his cousin Becky and her family. We drove 2,600 miles in a week - at 5 months pregnant!


At the Summit of the Sierra Nevada's


Got our Winch all rigged up

With the Winch - 5,000 pound dead weight and Stpehen muscle on the comealong is what it took to get it up
 


There is the beauty!


I was much tired! The bandana made such a difference - no A/C in the truck so we went with the windows down the whole way. It also helped that we left at 3:30 in the morning....
 

You get a little silly driving 50 mph for 15 hours....


Picture at the salt flats.... right before a UHP pulled up behind us....
 


Stinker took a picture while I was sleeping


Got the kids from Gma and Gpa's and headed home!
 
 


Our rig :)

We came home to our shed being blown off the base.... blown over our truck leaving a few dents and scratches...
