After a fun week in Indiana, we met Gretchen and the boys in Terre Haute, IN and started our fun & crazy trip to Colorado together, getting their new van back part way to CA.
Lots of McDonald's stops, two full days of driving, and a nice luxurious night's sleep at the Drury Inn in Missouri in between to keep our sanity up...... It was fun and wild and we almost went crazy about half-way through Kansas.... but we did it and we made some fun memories together, too! ;-)
Creepy Ronald McDonald somewhere in Illinois......
It was so fun to get to know little Ollie a little better! He's a little "cricket" as Grandma calls him - a bundle of constant energy and sweet smiles.
The boys loved getting to jump from bed to bed at the Drury Inn!
Gotta get all of that male energy out!
Back home, we went to town keeping the boys busy and occupied, with mud, toys, lego tower building sessions with Uncle Jim, parks, water play, you name it....I got up in the morning and laced up my tennis shoes ready to go! Gretchen and I were running all day long!
We loved seeing Lars and Wade connect with each other...at the last day or so they finally seemed to discover each other and loved playing "bad guys" and "rocket ship" and who knows what else. They are two peas in a pod!
Ollie loved playing with the fine motor toys and Gretchen and I got to talk about homeschool and plan for the coming year of starting Anders on My Father's World Adventures in U.S. History.
Showing Chris the big lego tower. It was nice to have some time with him before they all drove back to California!
A fun and memorable time together! I'm so glad we made it work. :)
