We made it!

After 13 hours of driving we made it safe to Wichita, Kansas at 2:05am!! The kids did wonderful!! It is really impressive for us as parents. Our children are so busy all the time, to have them sit still in a car seat for 2 hours at a time is truly amazing! That is about how long we can drive before needing to get out and let the boys stretch.
Some cool moments on the drive included:
~Driving through the Eisenhower Tunnel, That was fun for Benn
~We picked up dinner in Colorado and let the boys run around. Josiah found horse poop and was rather impressed. HA!
~We crossed over into Kansas, from Colorado at 6:20pm.
~At about 8 or 9pm we passed by a busy truck stop, about a mile after the stop Josiah announced he had to poop. . .and it was an emergency. (So he claimed) After getting off at the next two exits where NOTHING was open and no bathrooms were available we pulled over and he gave it his best go to try and potty on the side of the road. Nothing. . .he decided he did not need to go anymore and he would wait.
at a 1/4 of a tank of gas and many miles later we finally stopped in a small town that starts with a "Q" in Kansas. We got gas and Josiah was able to use the potty. We were joined by another road trippin family getting gas as well.

2:15am we drive into the driveway of Ann and Alans house. Our home for the next few weeks. Thank you for your prayers and well wished! We love you all!
