Heading to Florida and Mimi & Pawpaw's

We had quite a caravan heading down to Florida. I had to drive my truck and pull the motorcycle and Ryan had to drive his truck and pull the boat. Over all the trip went really well. Heading to Texas from Florida we had a few hiccups. Mainly on the second day. As we were pulling out of lunch the second day a car sent a rock right at me and hit my windshield. This put a small hole in my winshield (not through though) and made a star that went up and made another small star. Then, once we hit Texas a truck blew a tire right in front of R that blew up and hit his truck and boat scratching the boat a bit and ripping out a cord on the trailer. Other than those two incidents, the trips were successful.

This is what we looked like going down the road. R usually lead and I followed for pretty much both trips. We totalled about 25,000 miles each when both trips were said and done. Logging about 35 hours in the car for both. I must say that the kids were AWSOME during this time. For the most part, they didn't have any problems.

Here is R and his rig. The kids choose to ride with him most of both trips. Of course, they had to on the way to Texas because while my car was parked in Florida for a week, ants decided to invade it. I ended up having to spray Home Defense and Raid which smelled it up and I was afraid that they would get bitten. I haven't really been it since we got here, so I am hoping they are gone now. I put ant traps in it, we'll see!
Here was my rig. It pulled really well and I didn't really realize that it was even back there.

At one of the gas stations we stopped at was this cow. The kids HAD to have their picture taken with it. It was HUGE!

Of course, we couldn't stop learning just because our lives are up in the air. So, I brought their workbooks and we did some school work at Mimi and Pawpaw's house. The kids love doing their school work and ask to do it when I don't offer it early enough in the day. I can't wait to get them back in school. I know they are ready.

Miss M LOVES Booga. Quite often she'd just go up and love on him. At the time of this picture, she found him on Pawpaw's chair and took advantage of being able to sit by him and love on him. He loves her too. He'd get excited when he knew she was around becuase he knew she'd come love on him. They are such buddies.
