We finally were able to leave our house and head to Idaho. Our original plan was to leave on Thursday May 3rd after preschool and lunch. Due to a tummy flu that hit our family we ended up waiting until we knew that our kids were over that. I can't imagine driving across the country with kids sick with the stomach flu. We left on Friday around 1:30 in the afternoon. The stomach flu seemed to hit Emily the hardest. We decided that it would be a good idea to cover her car seat in a garbage bag just in case. It was a good idea that we did because she threw-up several times on Friday.
After our first stop Christopher found a butterfly on the front of our van and was so excited he said, "We caught a butterfly! We caught a butterfly!" His face fell to a sad pouty face and said, "but it is dead, I want it to go and live with Jesus."

This was a cute, very friendly little town that we stopped at for breakfast on Saturday

We were driving along the Lincoln highway and stopped off at the rest area; this is the highest point on the Lincoln Highway.

We were able to make it to Idaho in 28 hours! We were happy to be there.
