We tried hard to come up with something a little bit fun to do each day, but we got a late start on day 3 and boy was it our longest and hardest day on the road. We spent the night in Omaha, NE. Day 4 we spent driving across NE. We made a fun stop at Cabela's in Sydney. We had a little trouble with the truck that day, but we think it was just some bad gas and thankfully it was an easy fix. We spent the night in Laramie, WY because hotels in Cheyenne were mighty pricey (like $300!) because it was their big rodeo. We made sure we had a pool that night so Rhone could have some time to play. Day 5 we stopped in Green River, WY for lunch and were able to meet up with 2 of my cousins and their families. Rhone had a great time running around wild. We made it to my parents' in time for dinner. Boy were we happy to be outta the car! We had one pretty crazy potty stop in WY with poor Rhone. There wasn't a public bathroom for miles around, so Rhone had a pretty serious potty break on the side of a road. He kept looking at Ben and saying, "Uhh dad this isn't gonna work." Sometimes you just gotta do, what you gotta do.

| We spent over 41 hours in the car and this doesn't include our time spent on our fun little side trip to Chicago or potty/gas breaks. It was a long trip. Now we just need to get to Nor Cal. Luckily we have some down time before we make that trek. |

glad you made it to Idaho safely. Enjoy your R & R before you have to head out again. Tell your parents hi for me!
41 hours! That is painful just to think about.
