Now you've seen it

To all of you who wil be flying across the country for this trip, I thought we would share some of our trip with you so you won't feel as if you have missed out on the very very very long trip.


Windmills in Wyoming. Who knew there were so many of them? New game in the van: Write the names of 11 - 14 of the major cities you will be traveling though, then tape them to the roof of your very long vehicle. Have the kids look for the corresponding highway signs and give them treats or fake money for finding them.
Because we no longer have a tv in our kitchen, Evan has never seen baby eienstein. On one very hard (14 hour) drive day, I finally turned his carseat forward facing for about 20 minutes. he zoned right into baby eienstein and then fell asleep. Finally. Ahhhhhhh
This is what happens when a stinky big brother sock ends up in a little sister face. Must remember to change socks in hotel rooms.....

all I can say is thank goodness for car/portable dvd players. Without them I think I would make my kids walk and start finding buffulo chips!

We love the windmills in Wyoming. So cool. And one year we drove through fields of sunflowers in Kansas which were beautiful. We really enjoy every part of our drive across the country except the 2nd half of Nebraska!
