While we may have failed at getting our children to eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, we have trained them to be pretty darn good at traveling in the car. A tub of books, a purse full of little trinkets and a CD of their choosing will keep them happy for about two hours.
Meaning: Darrin and I actually get to have a conversation for two hours.
We packed up the gang to take James to meet Aunt Joan and Uncle Larry in Omaha. And our trip coincided with a tag sale at their home.

| This turned out a little blurry, but still a great picture. One of the only things that consoled Madeline when she first found out she was having a baby brother {she had her heart set on a girl}, was that both her Papa and Grandpa were little brothers with super older sisters. |
We walked away from the sale with some books, a hat, stuffed animals and a lawn bunny. Yep. I said lawn bunny. Madeline can always find a new treasure at Joan's house.
To keep the kiddos from breaking everything at the sale, we had a picnic lunch at the park and visited a nearby train museum. {Highly recommend the train museum if you're in the Omaha area.}
I learned that the chore of picking up acorns by hand from Aunt Joan's yard is an exciting task for the younger crowd. And Dad can give a pretty good biology lesson with it.
It was a great, great trip. We had some time to chat, some time to run around and some time to eat ice cream.
Until next time!
On the road again... I just can't wait to get on the road again...
