Another update
Yep, I am hopeless at keeping this completely up to date. Since I last updated we have been through Yellowstone National Park and spent a couple of days at Mt Rushmore. We are now sitting at Chamberlain on the Missouri Riverbanks in South Dakota and have just crossed into the Central timezone. It is 11am Saturday here and nearly 4am Sunday at home. Guess I won't be ringing anyone in the morning.
We are about to start looking for hairdressers. The boys desperately need a haircut and mine is no longer the real short cute haircut that Debbie gave me before we left. Do you fancy popping over for a haircut Deb? I am also keen for a bit of pampering and maintenance from a beauty therapist. Hey Jodi, maye you can come over too.
We have had some pretty stressful moments at times with finding places to camp for the night, and being completely shattered from travelling continuously. Also the boys baiting each other in the camper. I really don't think it would matter if we had a 50 seater bus, they would still find a way to annoy each other. Anyway, I was saying to Andy the other day that although we still have moments these are a heck of a lot fewer and further between now. The boys know the jobs they have to do when we arrive at a site to prepare the RV and what they have to do when we break camp.
I have been slack with the schoolwork as I can't cope with the reading etc in the back of the RV when we are driving and when we stop I feel sorry for the boys being cooped up inside the whole time and let them take off. Our mornings are mainly spent sleeping late, trying to catch up on sleep and then preparing to take off for our next destination. We are talking about our adventures lots and although their blogs aren't up to date online they are writing them in their books.
Alistair seems to be growing taller by the minute so I am making the most of calling him shorty while I still can. Nick keeps amazing us with the details that he can recall of the places we have been when we didn't even think he was listening. Tommy's sense of humour keeps us cracking up the whole time, he sure isn't my baby anymore! He has come into his own with all the cowboy stuff we keep seeing and the guns that are everywhere with mock gunfights etc. Long story short I can't believe how much these boys have grown in the time we have been here.
OK I am late now, we were supposed to be out of here by 11m and it is now 11.15, better go put some things away. Not completely sure where we will end up tonight, but we are heading to Sioux Falls 135miles away and will see what we feel like after that.
