The children are doing super. Normally I try to keep it really up beat and dwell on the big super things but it's been a tough 24 hours here...
The drive was only 6 1/2 hours but it was long... and not a lot to see or do along the way and lots of construction- and last night while we were checking in - at the intersection in front of the hotel - a drunk driver ran a red light and there was a huge serious accident with fatalities ....
This morning on the way to breakfast there was another accident on the highway - we sat there for about an hour until I found a way off the highway and around a huge accident. More fatalities This one had care flight helicopter show up while we were sitting there :(
After breakfast we went searching and found the Home of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her husband their daughter Rose. It was so cool and very interesting. I have a tendency to think of her and as the TV character but had no idea that in actuality she was only 4'11' and her husband was only 5'2''!!! :) Their home was so precious and reminded me of my Grandma B's in Loudendale, WV. :) As your family grows -you add a room, as you get electricity you add a bathroom, when they added the brand new refrigerator and it wouldn't fit in the kitchen - they cut a hole in the kitchen wall and added about 8 inches to the house in that cubby so the fridge would fit. :) It was very interesting. The children loved the rolling yards and all the trees - they were running and running around - they asked me if we could go back again tomorrow...
We also saw Sarah and Calvin play basket ball - and the children while they tried ~ they mainly played their Nintendo while we cheered their cousins on. :)
Tomorrow we are supposed to get rain so we are going to head to the Scout museum and to the Bass Pro Store - it's supposed to be the largest in the country - I'll let you know after we've been there. :) AND Grammy comes to town tomorrow too! Yea!
