Lawson Family Road Trip Leg 1

We decided to go on our first Lawson family road trip this summer including 4 stops: Houston, Gulf Shores, Shreveport, and Dallas.  We had the best time!  Three of the four stops were visiting friends we don't get to see near enough, and the 4th stop was the beach, so what more could we ask for?  Answer is...nothing, b/c it was awesome.  I worked really hard to prepare for the car rides in hopes things would go smoothly.  I think the preparation paid off b/c the boys did amazingly well in the car.  Here's pics from the first leg of the trip.  Jake holding up his special road trip notebook...

Starting work on their first car project.  Luke pretty instantly got marker on his face...

And then we had puppies in the car!

 This is how Luke woke up from his nap just as we were entering Houston...

 Here's the poster child for a road trip if I've ever seen one...
