We had a great time visiting Will's family in SC. The 16 hour car ride was a little less than desirable and I would have to say that I am not ready to take that trip again any time soon. I do understand that it is hard for kids to stay confined in a car seat for hours on end with only the toys that haven't fallen on the ground. By the time everyone had fallen asleep for the evening, Will and I looked at each other enjoying the quiet and decided to just go ahead and drive straight through. Although we were tired the next day, it was worth it.
Jes and Wilk did very well with the transition. The only issues that we had were those that are typical of kids out of their environment and routine.
They thoroughly enjoyed meeting Will's family and vice versa. All the kids got to do a lot of swimming, TV watching and even a trip to the mall to get a Build-A-Bear. We also visited a hands-on children's museum that my other kids have always enjoyed going to.
We already miss them terribly and can't wait till our next visit which will probably be for my sister-in-laws high school graduation.
I will post some pics later ~ I have not been able to download them off my camera just yet.

Right there with you on long car drives. We got a DVD player for our van after one long drive. It's broken now though. Guess we either won't take long drives or we'll have to get another one! :-)
Glad you had a good time - and that J & W did well. We are praying for you all!!
hey tonya, we have one of those two but it is a little difficult to have 5 children be able to see it at all times. I figured it would cause more of a hassle than anything. Plus, it is being held together with a rubber band :-).
Thanks for the prayers. Still want to come to CO!!!
We stopped by your house the other day. I know, I should have called to see if you guys were there.
Speaking of SC, I'm going there there next week with Jeoff. He's going there for a week for work and I'm meeting him for a few days. We'll be in Columbia. You guys have any suggestions of restaurants or sites to see (for adults only)?
