So we have moved across the country, some 2000+ miles. and we drove both cars for 4 days. we got some really interesting looks as we all piled out, 2 adults, (one of them quite large by now) 3 small children, and 2 stupid dogs (who just wouldn't stay on a leash). Everytime someone asked what we were doing, we would tell them and they would laugh and say "good luck with that" seriously though, we had an amazing trip. the kids were all perfect angels the ENTIRE time, and we had alot of fun in the hotels along the way!
<--somewhere in Virginia...
<--obviously
<--one of the many rivers we crossed that the kids loved!
<--I think this is Indiana?
<--this is what i saw alot of the time i looked over, Sammy or Adrie with thier head in the box of fish crackers
<--we stopped for gas here somewhere in illinois?
<--we stopped at alot of cool rest stops along I-70 but keeping the dogs contained was a challenge. funny thing is i am pretty sure they did not eat for the entire trip.
<--we had to stop and play on the playground! I have no idea where we were at this point
<--no idea
<--st. louis...my photographer is 5. and that was the scariest city i have ever driven through! People are crazy there!
<--kansas city, mo. our favorite place! our hotel had a water park attached to it and we had a blast that day!
<--kansas...nothing. super flat with nothing to see. very boring.
<--the kids all took turns driving with dad in the truck, and i think that was the key. it was a special treat to have him all to yourself for the whole day!
<--in every hotel we had to get one of these carts and the kids thought it was the funnest ride ever. poor daddy had to push it though! and it didn't really fit into the elevators
<--kansas city and some of the slides the kids would eventually go down.
<--the best part was that everyone slept all through the night every night, and we never had a single problem. amazing.

giant spider that i see every night, its bigger than a quarter...i think there are hundreds of these delightful creatures. this one is on my back porch. i don't think i will ever get used to the bugs here.
we went to a fun little place that is like a mile from our house and it has mini golf, go carts, bumper boats, batting cages, and an arcade. it was really fun to go and spend the day together!
at the end of our party the kids ended up with over 200 tokens, that you kept on a little credit card, and then you could trade them for toys and candy, so it was pretty awesome.
our A/C broke a couple of days ago, and we decided that it was cooler outside, so we ate popcicles on the porch.
it has rained for a few days here, and the kids thought it was awesome. they havent seen rain in so long, i wondered if they would even remeber what it was. darryl came inside after getting soaked and said to me "i wet mom" so cute ;)
