Who knew that stopping for gas could be so much fun?
We were a little concerned about how Zoe would do with the long drive, since she starts screaming after about an hour in the car when we go to the cabin. Well, true to form, after about the first hour she let everyone know she had had enough - not a good sign with ten hours left in the journey. Thankfully, after a rest stop and a snack, her attitude improved significantly and she managed the rest of the journey without too much difficulty.
Btw, under that pink blanket is Nina - she's having 'room time.' Seriously, she is. I think she had enough of ten people in the van!Anyhow, no trip across South Dakota is complete without a stop at Wall Drug.
Towards the end, everyone just wanted to get there.
Finally, we arrived at Larry & Vicki's house and it was so worth the trip!
Stay tuned for tomorrow, when you will hear stories of cows, deer, snakes, bison and killer bunnies. Not to mention lots and lots of hiking and jumping on trampolines.
Beautiful!Why are we living in the city?
ReplyDeleteI can just imgine what 10 hours would be like in a van with a bunch of kids. Oh, Barb,knowing you, you took it all in stride!You are my mother hen hero!
We have "room time" in the van too--except we call it "quiet time". Right after lunch everybody is QUIET for an hour! We ALL need it.
ReplyDeleteBarb, I am wondering how Blackberry managed to stay in the cage while you were gone!!! Your WY pictures are beautiful. And I hope Chris and Nina are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteTrudy,
ReplyDeleteAh, we're on to Blackberry's schemes! We figured out how he was getting out and I rubber banded the door shut. If he chews through the rubber band, he's home free, but so far he hasn't figured that out.
We did discover that he can do serious acrobatic techniques though. He is quite an adept hamster.
