We are officially in OKC!

Well we survived our month long vacation, barely but we survived.  That was one of the longest month of my life!  Just in case anyone is looking for the easiest way to move it isn't taking a month to do so.  It was fun seeing everyone for sure but it was also very stressful with 2 kids who are very busy and want to be home with their own toys.  But we also had a lot of fun along the way.

1st stop...last minute things in WA.  We went to Mount Rainier and also Pike's place.  We also drove around to some of our favorite places and let the girls play in the water at New Castle beach park, which was one of our favorites, I kinda miss it actually.  

2nd stop...Canada.  We enjoyed a weekend going up to Victoria through Vancouver.  It took us about 8 hours from our house to actually get to Victoria because we had to wait at the border for customs and then we had to wait about a hour for the ferry.  We went to Butchard Gardens and also the British Columbia museum and it was very fascinating. 

3rd stop...Salt Lake City.  Zach had to work until the 10th and so I left on Monday with Zach's Mother Holli and his Grandma and Grandpa Christensen.  We took 2 days to get to SLC.  Until Wednesday when Zach and his Dad got there we had a birthday party for Holli's Dad and got ready for camping.  After driving all night Zach and his Dad (Dave) got to SLC early in the morning and then we headed to Flaming Gorge where we went camping, swam in the lake and floated down the river.  It was  lot of fun. 

4th stop...back to SLC where we visited my cousin Annika and her new baby Peter, he is adorable!  We also got to spend some more time with Zach's little cousins and go to a White family reunion for Holli's side of the family. 

 5th stop...Mesa.  We got to Mesa late Tuesday night I believe and enjoyed spending time with my family and Zach's.  Zach left on the follow Sunday night to come to OKC because I decide to stay in AZ so I could go to a Fish family camp out that we had in Northern AZ.  Zach signed papers on our house on Tuesday and then painted the rest of the week.  His Mom Holli also came to OKC with him and gratefully helped Zach paint so I could stay in AZ.  It probably was best that the girls were not here when the house was getting painted.  One thing I will say for certain is that I think it will be a LONG while before I go camping without Zach again.  We like to camp but it was hard without my hubby there.  I don't think it helped that my girls were so ready to be in there own home.

Christy's 6th stop without Zach.  Camping with the Fish side of my family.  These are all the little kids that were there, some of the older ones aren't in this picture.  These are all my cousins with the exception of a few that are my sisters kids.  

And finally we came to OKC!!!! So glad to be here, and just in case anyone was wondering I finally got my 2 little happy girls back.  Traveling was very stressful and some days they or I didn't take it very well, but now we are all much happier.  I don't think it really has anything to do with OKC it's just being in your own home being able to do the things that you are used to.

p.s. I may have missed some of the things that we did but I can tell you that it was a busy month with lots of craziness.  Now on to the next adventure I think next week we will be potty training Kali.  She already wants to sit on the potty and go so hopefully it will be much easier than Anna!
