Crazy Field Trip

 We have been on this crazy cross country trip for almost two weeks.  Here is a sampling of what we have learned.

1.       Chili on top of spaghetti and smothered in cheddar cheese at Skyline in Cincinnati, OH is pretty tasty.

2.       Our kids are terrific even when they are stuck in the car for several hours a day and several days in a row.

3.       Leaving a hotel during 36 degree weather while it is raining is not fun.

4.       God is protecting our family… even from drunk drivers.

5.       3463 miles in a car with five children may be doable… but going back the other way looks pretty daunting from this angle.

6.       Having a sick kid in a hotel is better than having a sick kid in a car.

7.       The four year old version of museum is much more fun to say…  ‘zoozam’.

8.       Crossing into a later time zone the same night as daylight savings time makes getting up the next morning REALLY hard.

9.       Our kids are able to make friends quickly and seem to get along well with everyone.

10.   Listening to three replays of one Dora DVD in a day is three too many and after a while, you don’t  even need to play the DVD to hear everything on it.
