2013 Summer Road Trip Day 1

So our first day of driving to West Lafayette, Indiana consisted of driving in the car for about 10.5 hours. Yes it was long. Yes there isn't a whole lot to see... but we found the best book on CD by accident! It's a series called Children of the Lamp and the first book is called The Akhenaten Adventure by Philip Kerr. It's 10 hours long however we didn't listen to all of it that day. We need to mix it up a bit.

We saw mountains like this in Wyoming.

 We saw Lots of windmills the whole way.
 We drove through a tunnel.

 We even saw one of Grandpa's Trucks!
 We were excited to see this sign.
 And there was plenty of playing with guys going on!
 The kids were excited when we got to the hotel. We were lucky and stayed in one that had 2 water slides and a little kid pool to swim in. Then that night they shot off fireworks just across the freeway and we could see them from our room!

 Sam loved climbing in the squid.
 Zach loved going on the water slides. I think he did that about 20 times! It was a fun place for sure!
And then it was time to go to bed so we could get up and drive some more.

Homemaking 101

Does anyone else feel like it's time for a refresher course on homemaking 101? Maybe we should watch a few seasons of Leave it to Beave...
