Road Trip - Day 3 (On the Road)

So let's recount...We started on Wednesday afternoon, making it into Rodgers, Arkansas by evening. We spent the day, Thursday, in Rodgers, hanging out and enjoying the town while hubby took care of some business for his job. Thursday night we all hopped into the RV and settled in for an all night ride. Friday morning, we woke up in Illinois and spent the day in the RV, passing through, Indiana, and Ohio. Here are some shots of our day spent covering a piece of America by daylight.

In the morning, Sumo plays quietly with his toys (Cars, Toy Story, & Madagascar figurines) while everyone else sleeps. He is the early riser in the family.






The girls slept til well after 11am....teenagers need sleep :)



We drove all morning then stopped to get a break from the road and to eat lunch...Kano is serious about his food :)







Then into Walmart to pick up some things for the RV - more bread, some water, etc. The girls look at this as their fueling station for snacks. Because of my own sugar addiction, I always struggle with how much junk to let the kids have even though we are on vacation...See that crazed look in their eyes...

Everyone had a good nap for the afternoon drive. They had no idea that we had a blow out and had to be delayed for over an hour to fix a tire. Thank God for keeping us safe on the highway.




When everyone finally woke up ...we stopped at Denny's





More crazed looks because of Coke Floats...I'm trying to find the balance between raising healthy kids and letting them enjoy themselves...I haven't found it yet...

Jessie still wanted to drive (unbelievable) so we got everyone settled down. Gracie and Bessie started a scrabble game. The boys got their bedtime story from Mommy and then spent a little while looking at their books.

GOOD NIGHT!
