It is official! School is done for the year. To celebrate the beginning of the summer break, the Vanderhoof Moose are taking a family road trip! It is an annual tradition for this family of four, and they look forward to it every year. Mom Eloise, Dad Maddox, and kids Willie and Mina choose a different spot to visit every time. This year, they are going to the desert.

“Are you ready to pack the car?” asks Mom Eloise as she loads the Happy Camper’s trunk with towels, bottles of water, and a cooler filled with goodies.   

“I am bringing some books to read!” replies Mina.  

“I am bringing some games to play!” calls Willie.  

On their yearly road trip, the journey is just as fun as the destination. The whole family plays games and sings songs along the ride, and if they see an interesting spot – they will pull over to explore! It is truly an adventure.

Once the car is packed and everyone is in, Mom and Dad do one last bathroom call. So, someone always runs inside the house one last time for one last thing. And then, they buckle up and start their open road playlist. Everyone gets a turn picking a song they like so the music is an adventure, too! 

“I want some classical music!” calls out Mina from the backseat.  

“For me, I want some rock and roll!” says Willie.  

Father Maddox passes them juice boxes and adjusts the radio while mom Eloise starts out on the open road. The whole family watches the scenery flash before their windows and change from houses to forest, when, suddenly, there is some sand…

Along the way, the Vanderhoof Moose family stops to take photos. Each of the kids has a small camera and they even take shots of the road. They love driving games and will see who can spot three red cars first or a license plate that starts with a ‘J’ – all while the time passes.  

“Look over there – up in the distance!” Eloise calls out from the driver’s seat. 

“Oh, wow! How cool!” Mina and Willie shout as they see a bunch of cacti up ahead. Cactus are plants that grow in dry and hot areas. 

 “Let’s hop out and take a closer look!” said Madox. 

 The whole family gets out of the car, and out in the desert they gather ‘round a giant cactus. 

 “Get in close” says Mina as she takes out her camera and captures the moment.
