Hi. We are pretty much plugging along as usual with the exception of a last minute trip to Indianapolis. Alex's grandpa passed away a couple weeks ago and he wanted us all to make it to the service, so we packed the van with 4 kids and took a very long road trip. We drove for 2 days, and did stop at a hotel on the way. Spent 4 days with his family then turned around and drove the 30 hours home, with no stopping. The girls did amazing. It was pretty much a perfect trip, driving and hanging in Indianapolis. We couldn't have asked for anything better.
We all were able to go to the speedway and watch some qualifying rounds for the nationals (don't ask me what that exactly is, I just know that's what it was called). :0) The funeral service was an open casket too, so the girls got to see a non-living body, which they all found quite interesting. None of them freaked out, so that was nice.
Alex will be starting school in 3 weeks, which is sad, but the end result will be great. We will be soaking up all the time that we can with him these next few weeks.
This is our current life. Hope it is as enjoyable to you as us. :0)
If you can travel 60 hours with kids and still think it is an enjoyable thing, then you have a beautiful life! I find that it isn't my kids that end up getting cranky on trip but instead their mom :)
