On the Road Again...




Traveling with two children and two dogs was not as bad as I expected. The kids did really well on the trip. Tyler was exceptional. I would travel anywhere with him. Deke had a few bad moments, but overall not as bad as I expected. Joel thought he would be smart and create a barrier to keep the dogs in the very back of the van. As you can tell, that didn't work out. Before we even made it to Hwy 90 Java was in the backseat with the boys and when we stopped in Albert Lea to get dinner, I looked down and saw Manny on the floorboard in the backseat. Joel attempted it again for the trip back to Minnesota and yet again, both dogs were in the front seat before we knew it. It was a losing battle so we decided not to fight it. Tyler loved to make the big trucks honk and everytime we passed them, we would start moving our arms up and down in the honk signal. Most of them obliged us and gave us some great honks which made Tyler's day.

these pictures are super funny. i'm so glad my carseat got to go all the way to texas! what fun!

the chihuahuas are so bad in the car, they like to "mountain chihuahua" and always climb to the top of the suitcases, then go flying when we stop.
