For Halloween this year, we traveled to Colorado and spent the weekend with my sister Tanya and her family. Leaving at 4 PM KC time made for a long night, however, our FAVORITE traveler (the only one STRAPPED in a car seat) slumbered for much of the 10 hour drive and Brandon kept Brad awake throughout most of the night listening to a comedy routine on Brad's I-pod.

Amazingly, the connection between cousins is unbroken with age or interest. 8-year-old Nathan and 16-year-old Brandon and the 3-year-old girls jumped for hours on the trampoline, while 14-year-old Hunter and 6-year-old Scott and Carson built robots out of bionicles. Dads joined in the football game and prepared for the BIG EVENT.

Lauren and Jessie played "guess which Disney Princess I am" until the gowns were thread bare and the cheap plastic shoes were clunking wildly on the wood floor.

Trick o Treating on Friday was fast and furious for Carson and Jessie-although you would never know it looking at the STASH of candy they consumed.

Don't you LOVE modern TRAVEL technology

When I was a kid, traveling across country met hours of torture and noise for my parents. Jumping over seats and wrestling with your nearest sibling was just a game we played while bored. 

Travel was DANGEROUS to drivers. Thus, new seatbelt laws were passed and we now have a NEW way to travel to keep the peace. Last week, I took a drive up the Colorado Mountains near Fort Collins with my Mom, Dad, sister, Tanya and Mark, and 2 3-year-olds. 

PEACEFUL for these toddlers and adults! Not to mention the scenery.
