The Trip To Georgia(In Pictures).

**** Warning, MAJOR Picture Overload****

Garrison with Jet, the Penguin.

Our wonderful chauffeur.

1st restaurant in Swift Current.

She slept through most of the driving and went right to bed as soon as we put her down.

Corner Gas picture

Coming up to the border.

She was a great little traveler.

Caleb showing his favorite book of the day.

Garrison's imagination has turned him into a walrus!

Such a cute shot of the boys watching the barber.

At the train museum in Minot, N.D.

All worn out from being sick and not taking a nap during the drive!

6am-Walmart run

Mr. Cool

He thought of this and it made us laugh every time!

Not sure if she wants it.  She ate most of it.

Caleb chose flip up sunglasses and chocolate.

2 crazies and 2 sleepers

The boy and his shades were inseparable for this trip.

Snack time!  I cleaned Caleb's face at every stop, but he still managed to secure things to the wiped snot.  Can anyone say, "Nasty!"

So exciting!

Ready to go in?

The "Men" of the family.

They had a really amazing variety of fish.

I REALLY like these!  I wonder if we can get some for our house.

I think Elyssia was too busy watching the fish.

My delicious chicken fajitas!


Scott's fish and chips.

Escalator ride to the second floor of Old Navy.

Ready to go into the Underground Aquarium.

Caleb clutching his new pjs.

Touching choc chip starfish.

Looking at jellyfish.

Seahorses

Amazing!

Cute hat!

THE LEGO STORE!!!

Their favorite.

Playing with the rainforest friends we purchased at the Cafe.

The tour guide was helping us read "Slim and Miss Prim".

Jet wanted to try the glasses.

The arch.

Some of the neat historical carving.


Those who helped build the arch.

More historical landmark carving.

In the little train capsule on the way up to the top of the arch.

Kiersten was stinking up the arch.  We smelled something on the way up.  They took our stroller before we went up, so we had no way to change her.

Caleb was amazed by the view of the Mississippi River.

Kiersten liked climbing up to the little viewing windows.

Very enjoyable!

Watching the paddleboat go down the river.

We refilled the Mt. Dew bottle with milk:).

Watching the people and vehicles in Illinois.

Chocolate!

Yummy!

Scott with his 1st Catfish Sandwich.

Kiersten at the Shelbyville, Kentucky Days Inn.
Having fun in the window.

"Me too! I watch Daddy put the stuff in!"

Yay!

Kiersten and Faith.  I have a better picture, but will have to look through them for the number.

3 wk old Alayna Grace.

The best shot I got.  The younger two wanted to explore!

Kristen, Me, Michelle

Kiersten after an encounter with Cheetos:)

The Museum of Appalachia(the interior was the setting for the Daniel Boone TV series).

Ahhhh,,,  Resting after the 5 days of driving.  The fresh air was wonderful!

He's looking right at home.

Notice the Chicken crossing sign?  There was also a peacock wandering around.

Kiersten's 1st time to really walk barefoot in the grass.  She LOVED it!

Some of the buildings.

A neat little place.

Suckers and Mr. Dressup to get us the last part of the drive to Grandma's house.

This morning we opened the packages we'd had sent to mom's house. These are the shirts that my friend Abby made for the kids.  They're raising money to adopt a little boy from Ethiopia.  This is one of the fundraisers and she did an awesome job!

Caleb hiding in one of the boxes we emptied.

Garrison doesn't quite fit in the other one.

Scott practicing on the bugle he just bought.
Note:  We also bought a harmonica for Garrison(He LOVES it!), a Kazoo for Caleb and a mouth harp for Scott at the Levee Mercantile in St. Louis, Missouri.  Looking forward to hearing them learn a song or two:).  I have to say that the harmonica, even in the hands of an inexperienced little boys sounds way better than a lot of the electronic toys that most kids have these days.
  Well, that wraps things up.  We're busy full time keeping the younger two out of things and off of tables. Should be some fun days ahead:).  Looking forward to seeing more of the family as they arrive...
