Beginning of Summer

Let's start at the very beginning. A very good place to start. Summer is on it's way out and I'm just beginning to post about it. Here we go. This picture of Mags just has to be included because it's classic

Charlie got his cast off the last week of school. Three days before we began our cross country voyage. It was super stinky.


Just in time to entertain himself in the car for hours


The night before we went on our big trip we found this guy in the street. We brought him home and played with him for a couple of hours before letting him go.


Typical day in the car. I was surprised once again that the drive really isn't that bad. We have a system and it works. Each day goes a little something like this.... start early, begin with quiet, then have singing time, then coloring or school work, next is present time (little wrapped gifts from the dollar store) eventually we stop for lunch and a break then finally they get tv and electronic time. Each day is about 10 hours of travel.

On our first stop Jane fell out of bed in the night and punctured her lip. Mike thought she needed stitches, I figured she'd be fine.

After three days of travel we reached my sisters house in Denver

Love the pics! Oh and we found the same thing...once everyone got used to the "car schedule", the drive wasn't bad at all.

Well, I'm glad you think the drive is worth it because I get to reap the benefits! Frankly 10 hours a day in the car sound horrid but thanks for doing it for me!
