Monkeying around...

We made it!!!

Our motto being "Colorado or Bust!" of course. The trip took several days longer than we had caculated. We ran into some pretty rough weather a couple of times to be sure. I found it quite remarkable how the children handled being in the cars for so long. We changed up passengers several times a day, so that helped I'm sure.

I am amazed at what good travelers our children are. They have been doing this sort of thing all throughout their lives and I suppose that in some ways that they are just used to it. We had very few "whiney and argumentative" moments. We stopped often and stretched our legs. I think it was a good thing that we weren't in too big of a hurry to get here.

Now that we are here it feels like a big burden has been lifted from me. The drive here wasn't easy on my poor body. I am glad to know that we don't have to get in the car again today to travel. Now it is time to set up our camper so that we can live in it comfortably (or as comfortably as you can with 7 people, a St. Bernard and two cats). We will be fine though. Our family has been through tougher stuff than this before.

We will start looking for a house soon, hopefully Monday. I am having a little bit of internet issues, but will be posting pictures of our trip soon. Just know that we had a great drive. We visited some things that we had wanted to see. We played lots of games in the car. We had lots of really great conversations with our children. And lastly, we are safely here. I hope everyone else had as good of a week as we did. Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers for safe travel.

Hopefully, picture will be up today or tomorrow. Have a great day!
