This summer trip went as expected. There weren't any real surprises which we wouldn't have dealt with very well! Cole was actually better this year on the drive talking about going to Nana's house and swimming in her pool and watching the train with her. Alora was not as excited about driving. She was able to snack and nap for the mostpart, though saving us additional stress from all the screaming we anticipated. We probably spent more time driving than we did anything else; possibly more than everything else combined! Alora didn't want to sit in her carseat at all when we got home even after a couple of days of doing nothing but stay home. It was worth seeing family, though.
We drove up to Michigan and then down to Arkansas. In Michigan, we saw fireflies and fed ducks. We helped Grampa pick up leaves...There was a carnival with hot-air balloons as we were leaving one of which crashed on the side of the freeway! In Arkansas, there were a lot of mosquitoes and swimming and gardening with Grandpa Stephens and swimming and digging and watching trains and digging! There was even a toad trying to swim with us one day! The kids had a great time seeing their cousins again and meeting new ones! We also got to see Rick and Laura in Oklahoma City on the way back! The photos show just some of the highlights of our cross-country adventures.
