Driving to Phoenix

Loaded up the family van and took off for Phoenix to spend MLK day with my sister's family and our good friends the Burnquists. We will decend upon the Burnquist household for a BBQ and much mirth. Even brought the dogs. The van seats 7 but I don't think 2 big dogs figure into that equation. They refuse to just sit in the back seat and instead must spend all their time attempting to get into the front window. Mind you these are not little yippie dogs that could fit in the front window, but about 150 pounds of dogs all together. They get very snippy when they get touched in the car, but refuse to go to a location where they won't get messed with.
The kids put Enchanted in the DVD player and put on their headphones. We didn't even know they were there until we were 10 minutes from our location (aside from the occassinal random giggle that erupted and an assumed funny scene). That's when the movie ended and the whining began: "how far now", "are we there yet", "my butt hurts". Funny little critters, the dogs too.
