Whirlwind trip through Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin and back

Jamie got a call on a Monday saying that his new custom made catering trailer was completed. On Wednesday we left spontaneously to pick it up in Indiana. We drove through 7 states and back in 7 days going about 55mph. It was exhausting, especially with a toddler. The good part about it was that we took a 3 hr detour and stayed at Jamie's mom's house a couple days and got to go to his step brother Chris' wedding to YoungChi. Sadly I don't have any pictures of the wedding because my battery was dead. Matthew had a great time at Grandma and Grandpa Gums house. Their house is a wonderland for little boys.

4 wheelers and waterworks

More 4 wheeler tricks

Sand boxes and tractors

Ducks and ducklings

Ponds with ducks, turtles, and jumping frogs

Big trucks to climb on

The pond has so many frogs and they blend in so well. This picture alone has at least 6 frogs in it.

We took a trip to a rumage sale and fair in a nearby town with Jamie's sister Jessica, Dan, and her 3 girls. It was a lot of fun. I am so glad Matthew has been able to hang out with every one of his cousins in the last month. That is not something that happens very often. I hope we can do it again soon.
Payton is so funny. She was trying to put on a face for the cameras here.

Jamie said that when he was a little boy his parents had a cub cadet tractor just like this one he would ride around on as a kid. Jamie wanted to buy it and throw it on the trailer but he had self control. Who knows, this may be the actual trailer.
