Route 66...

Well the route we actually took was Interstate 70.  The drive went really well.  Our loaders were able to get us packed up in the truck pretty quick and we checked out.  We left around 5:00 and made it a few hours before stopping for the night.  We had plenty for the kids to do and when there was a rough go we let them watch a show or if they had done really well then they earned a short movie.  Lincoln really loved getting one on one attention from my parents.  


My sister sent us a new movie to watch, Tom and Jerry.  Lincoln traveled with my mom and dad in the Civ and colored a lot of pictures using the Color Wonder stuff.  Once the other two were out in the van we let Parker watch the movie.  We love when he laughs like that.

Caroline did awesome.  Newborns are pretty easy to drive with.  They sleep a lot.

I didn't realize that the Mississippi was around because we were looking at the arch and looking for the Missouri sign.

Sunsets.  I love them.  We didn't see enough of them in Georgia.
I let Henry color this page while we were out at a restaurant.  He took the crayon and colored on the tub because there must not have been any more room to color on this paper.     
In one of our last legs of the trip we had all the boys.  My parents took Caroline.
Right when I took the picture I realized that I had missed the welcome to Kansas sign, this was the best I got.
Henry continued his coloring skills onto the bed but this time with a pen that he found on the nightstand.
Once we made it to Colorado Springs we stayed in a hotel that had a slide in the swimming pool.  We met my sisters there.  We were really tired but early the next morning we started to unload the truck.
