More photos from day three

An interesting sculpture at the rest stop - note the catapillar at the bottom, and the butterfly at the top



Yes, we watched a LOT of Barney in the car!

Finally the mountains in Colorado come into view!

And yet, still 2 or 3 more hours to go!

Day three begins

Day two begins....and is Meg happy to be back in the carseat?



You decide for yourself!!!!

We stopped just over the border into Colorado to have a picnic.

On the way - second day of driving

Here are some photos from our drive today, from Benton Harbor, Michigan, to York, Nebraska




Meg, playing with Mom's pretty anklet (her 'pretty'). Hey, you gotta' do whatever will make her happy!!!


Pumping gas in Iowa. Did you know here that all the gas contains ethanol and is cheaper!!!

Meg did a lot of this in the car.

William really, really liked his ramen noodles for lunch today!!!

We stopped at a state park in Iowa for lunch. This is Will throwing the baseball with STeve.

Crossing the Mississippi River. This is where Will thought we were 10,000 feet up in the air.

This is the little play area at the state park. Meg loved it.

Meg discovering a bug on the ground.

My big toe after dropping a can of tuna on it. OUCH!!!!!

We thought this one was particularly funny. Daddy was getting Meg a drink. From my direction, it looked like something else!!!

Will is very proud of his artwork!!

Meg did a little bit of this too.

Fashion Meg!!!!
Will's new camera. He took 14 pictures of the Mississippi River!!!
