Hittin' the Road

We're leaving on our family vacation today. This is the first of two vacations Blake and I have planned. We're heading to the Omaha Zoo, to Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming, we'll spend a couple of days with Blake's sister in Wamsutter, Wyoming, then we'll head home through Colorado, taking in Rocky Mountain National Park on the way. Eight days. A one year old and a three year old in the car for eight days. Lord have mercy.

The second vacation is an adult only excursion in September - Blake and I are going with two other couples (and possibly Blake's sister) to Vegas, baby! Woo hoo.

I am behind on posting some stuff: Cooper's birthday party, how I found Rupert a new home but Blake won't let me give him away even though he pees on stuff, etc. I'll get caught up when we get back (hopefully).

Until then, happy trails to us! As we were scrambling around last night to do the last of the packing and preparations, the kids were both crying, and Blake asked, "Do we really want to go on vacation? Seems like we need a vacation from getting ready for vacation." But, fact is, we really need to get away for a while. We have been looking forward to this trip for some time. I'm excited to make these fun memories with our kids.
