More of our trip

Some more pictures of our trip.

A beautiful view in Missouri. Our friends, Aaron and Megan Schaffner.

Aidan got to go on a scooter ride with Aaron.

It did make me a bit nervous b/c we were driving behind them.

Daffadils blooming in Missouri.

Day 2

Day 2 went pretty well. Although we had less miles to travel it seemed just as long. The kids did really well again but we were all a bit more tired. We had a minor car delay, more about that later.

We arrived in Branson, MO sometime around 5:15. We successfully with the help of his wife surprised our friend Aaron Schaffner. We had a great supper with them and then went for a walk at the Branson Landing. The kids had a blast and we got to see a neat fountain show with fire. We're all exhausted so I'm not going to download pictures tonight. I'm glad we don't have to travel again tommorow.

Good Night.

Travelling

Today was the big day. We left St. Thomas at 6:15 am. Destined for somewhere near Bloomington, Illinois for the end of the day. The kids did great. There were a couple times that Ian was really upset and they handled it very well. Playing a travel version of Candyland.

I brought some new CD's and DVD's for the trip and am slowly bringing them out.
This is a view of the 'window' Pete had out the back.

Don't the kids look great!
After travelling about 850km with several stops we ended up in Lincoln, Ill at about 6pm, which is an hour earlier than our usual time.

Our motel had a pool so Pete went in with the kids. They loved it because it was shallow enough for them to stand.

After a looong day they were both very tired, but excited.

Thanks for all your prayers. We have much more travelling to do in the next couple weeks but this is hopefully our longest day. Stay tuned and we'll keep you posted.
