a little road trip

I forgot about the ROAD part of our trip :)  Here we are on the way home.  My kids all like to sing ... especially in the car ...

               and clap ...

and raise their hands with the music ...

It was a bit hard to get Buddy from my angle ... but please notice that he's singing too :)

Having a rest stop ... Honey Bunny has his shoes on the wrong feet ...

At the hotel ... these two really like to be together -- often in the same small space!  They just had an intense squabble ... and as soon as it was over ... they were back to sharing close quarters.  They were looking at Lego magazines ... or "lego-zines" as Honey Bunny calls them.

The kids were into picking up maps at the rest stops ... so voila ... we had ourselves some geography :)  Halo came up with a map game that they enjoyed for a pretty long while :)  And they are all kind-of smiling at once ... what a wonder :)

And as we hit Illinois or wherever ... Driving Machine donned his scarf ... and declared that one good thing about our state {versus Florida} is that we get to wear scarves :)  Oooh, lucky us ;)
