Reunion Trip Day 5

Today is the day! The reunion in Hordville, Nebraska begins this afternoon. We only have about 150 miles to go. I don't expect to have internet access again for awhile, because we'll be with family. We're ready to be done with motels for awhile. We will be avoiding EconoLodge in the future.

You learn interesting things about your children when you sleep in the same room. Last night Will and I were both awakened by our younger son talking. "You want to fight? Okay, I can beat you up" etc. Then his fists started flailing as he threw punches at the air above his bed. Fortunately the fight didn't last long!

Last night we thought it would be a good idea to check out Lake McConaughy, which we had seen signs for when we got off the freeway at Ogallala where we spent the night. We got Subway and headed out of town without really knowing where to go, so Will got out the portable ham radio and put out a call. He actually got an answer and got directions! Those hammers are so helpful! We saw picnic tables at Lake Ogalalla first so we ate there. Our boys aren't used to mosquitoes, but we didn't get bitten too badly. The sun was setting as we were driving home, so we had to stop for a photo op. The one where Will was smiling was blurry so I have to show this one, the happy Will and LeAnn at Lake McConaughy, Nebraska.
