It's a long drive to...

Helena, Montana (16 1/2 hrs w/out stopping). And we survived our road trip! The girls loved staying in the hotels. I made sure to book ones with indoor pools. Boy was that a smart move. They loved it and it wore them out. The first night Lil Sis was so excited about sleeping the in same room. Poor Big Sis kept getting tackled in bed by her over zealous sister.

About 6 or 7 miles on the highway before Pocatello Big Sis declared that she urgently needed to take a potty break. So DH pulled off onto the shoulder (I know not the smartest thing, but considering our options!). As soon as he had Big Sis out of the car a state trooper pulled up behind us. DH could tell he was not happy about the situation, but he decided to let Big Sis do the business and stayed behind us for protection. Later on in the trip Big Sis said she need a policeman so he could take her to jail to go pee! Boy she can stretch a story as well as any Robins I know.

We took a break at a campground in Montana and threw stones off a bridge and stretched our legs. There are more photos and tales from our adventure to come.

Eagerly awaiting the swimming pool.

Cool bridge in Montana.


Our grouchy cub.


Finishing our lunch an hour after we left the restaurant. Does anyone else have a hard time getting their kids to eat?

Wow- you are brave to take two little girls on such a long trip. How long exactly did it take you to drive? From the pics above it looks like you all had a great time. I love the "knock knock" joke. Awesome.
