The Trip

Not what we expected but turned out OK. OK in the sense that we made it home alive and no one is hurt. Drove to Bremen and friends misunderstood date and were not home, disappointing, but understandable. They live on a farm, so we played with their animals and got to see their 4H pigs. They look like yummy bacon to me! I then showed the kids around Bremen. Not much changes there, very comforting. I will post more about this later. We then met Joe and Aaron at Janes Park and I took a bunch of pictures. If this park were in Carmel it would be packed, but there was 1 other family there(see above). The park really needs some TLC, hard to see. I really don't understand why either. Anyway, the kids had fun playing and I got my pictures taken. We then swapped kids. The boys and I left for home. I did stop at one more friends house, but she wasn't home either. Shucks.
The fun begins.
The boys are very tired.
They really don't like seat belts.
"Whoever invented seat belts is mean" states Aaron. Hmmm
They both fall asleep by the time we hit Talma, and sleep until almost to Galvaston.(two really small towns)
They wake up to a torrential downpour and 60mph winds. I am in Joe's Civic and can hardly stay on the road. I pull off for a bit and find a radio station(I was listening to XM32) to make sure I am not in a tornado. Nope, just a bad storm. I start to drive again and realize I have no gas, but can make it to Kokomo. By this time it is lightening and thundering pretty good. I stop for gas and were on our way again.
I look over at Aaron and he is pale "I'm gonna be sick" I grab a grocery sack, while driving in a storm and tell him to use it. Luckily he makes it in the bag. We then stop at DQ to clean up, walk around and get some ice cream. The last 20 minutes was uneventful.

Kid Switch

We are driving up north to the big city of Bremen today to switch kiddos and visit a couple of friends. Aaron is finished with camp this morning and the girls are going camping with the Mason girl as Annie told you earlier. I am hoping to get some pictures of the kids playing at Janes Park in Bremen while there. I have pictures of most years. The park was built in honor of my sister in law who lost her battle with breast cancer in 1999. She found out she had cancer while pregnant and refused to abort. Amazing story, amazing woman. I digress, the park was built when Ann was 6 weeks old. We have a lot of pics of Aaron as a 2 year old and Amy as a 4 year old running around. I like to see pics of them as they age there. Any way a lot of driving today. I better finish packing, we need to stop at the library first, and then to Starbucks:)
