Road Trip

Our journey began at 4:15a.m. enroute to Nebraska. We were gone for 12 days and logged 40 hours in the car by the time we got home. After all that, we'd had a great time with family and friends, and yes, the kids still don't mind getting in the car. They're the best travelers!! Here's a few pics from our trip. These are only the pics from my camera. Mom's camera has the rest, so those will come later. Enjoy!


Who doesn't want to roof with their cousins on their summer vacation? EG and her cousins, Tim and Ben helped Uncle Alan re-roof their garage.

We took the kids to Elephant Hall @ Univ.of Nebr. The kids really enjoyed the museum. Will's favorite part was this buffalo skin which he enjoyed snuggling up to!




Uncle Alan and Aunt Mary were great hosts and the kids had a blast swinging and playing in the basement. Will loved playing with "ANT MAWWWY" and still asks to visit them in "ABASKA".










Next stop: Wilcox, NE. We spent great time with the Harms' and with Grandma Jean. I thought EG and Abby might wear out the trampoline. The kids loved the animals and Will especially liked the chickens. EG had a great time with her "big cousins" Kate, Emily, Abby, and Ben.













Evertything old is new again. Will liked his Opa Dave's gun holster and EG played with an Etch A Sketch at Grandma Jean's.

Okay, maybe Will's favorite animal was the cats. I'm not sure how much they liked him, though.
Aunt Julie tries to keep him from getting scratched!





A sweet picture with Grandma Jean











On to Norman. EG and Hannah had so much fun together that it was hard to break them up. They went to tennis camp together, went swimming, and had hours of fun playing. Here's some of their greatest hits, but I'm sure Jessica's pictures are better. Maybe we'll get some copies.




















Our final destination was Texas where we stayed with our friends, Chris and Jodi. We had a great weekend at the pool with them and spending great time together. Can't wait to hear about baby Barrett's birth!















We had to stop at the Miss. border for a break. Here's the obligatory state line picture that everyone has. I thought it was cute.











AHH, Oreos. Nothing keeps the troops happier on a road trip. The kids were such great travelers and watched very little TV. We're still amazed at how well they did. We made it home quickly and uneventfully, which is the way we like it. We had a great time seeing everyone and hope to get the rest of the pictures up soon!
