Year 3 – Week 42 – Day 1

I am very proud of the two little boys who rode so perfectly in the car for such a long day. They played LOTS of iPad and really enjoyed the new apps I loaded.
They were up at 5:30am to get loaded in the car, we were driving down the road before 6:30am, they did not nap at all!
When we got in to Tucumcari, NM it was late and they were tired and Trevor was hungry so it was a bit of a rush this evening. We lost an hour to time change too.

I only have a couple of photos from stops along the way.

I circled the dot that is Bill chasing the dot that is Brendan as he tries to run away at his top speed.

Trevor just wanted to dig dirt and rocks

This storm full of lightning and heavy rain went alongside us but not over us as we did the last 100 miles.

We probably were lucky today, the novelty of the trip kept the boys happy, I didn’t even need to dig in to the goody bag of stuff much. Tomorrow I think will be more challenging because they will be tired of driving! Over 600 miles to do tomorrow!

Happy happy happy birthday to Bill today! The boys had better be good to him again tomorrow!

  1. Happy Birthday, Bill! I’m glad to hear the boys were good today. I was very glad to hear you all were stopped for the night and off the road.
    I’m hoping you’ll have a good day tomorrow and reach your next destination to visit your friends. Can’t wait for you to get here! It made me smile when you said Trevor was looking for me when you stopped because you told him you were driving to Gramma’s house. 🙂
    Brendan is only going to get faster! Funny that he runs away! 🙂
    See you all soon!
    Lots of love and hugs,
    Gramma xxxx
