We're going to camp

Driving from Nashville to Dunbar, WI with a twelve passenger van completely full can have it's challenges when individuals become tired and cramped. As I am writing this, we have just passed the Wisconsin border. The van is quiet (residual sleepiness from a late night) and we made it through the night at our Super 8 Motel purchased on Hotwire. Our friends made it to the hotel at about 2am after a four hour flat tire ordeal. We've shipped a few kids (mine) to their motor home which has freed up 3 seats and the big teen guys breath sighs of relief.

We had a great day driving yesterday and took a detour through downtown Chicago at 11pm, stopping at the beach so the kids could see Lake Michigan. It was fun! Too bad we were not able to arrive in Chicago earlier to do some exploring.

David has done GREAT and has yet to become grumpy! Alea was gracious and dropped off some of her happy juice (nutritional supplement) and I'm telling you, it has worked wonders! David even had a hard time going to sleep which is a first. He and I usually banter about who gets to sleep and who has to drive. :) I've yet to have to drive-Woohoo!

The kids have had sweet attitudes. I'm so impressed with our teen guys. They were really gracious about the seating and with each other yesterday since EVERY seat was taken with no stretching room. No grumpiness or ugliness. I just love them.

Stephen Mee is reading Grudem to David right now. I hear some of the teens behind me having a group devotional. Karis and I are slackers-she's drawing and I'm blogging and emailing. Yes, it's raining too.
