Eeeww!!

Now here's a well traveled car!  Another challenge for our fair readers...

We all participated in the "Great License Plate Scavenger Hunt."  We did pretty well heading west and rocked at Yellowstone.  Still, we are missing ONE state!  Any guesses as to what it is???

As for our travels, we just left Ohio where we had a wonderful time with the Patry's (Michele' s family). The kids had a squirt fight with Uncle Matt---I think Matt got the better of the kids:  ) We relaxed in the hot tub, celebrated Uncle Paul's birthday, feasted on grill grub, and visited and laughed the day away!  I had a walk down memory lane while walking around my childhood neighborhood.  I even got to traipse through the woods with Nicholas, Andrew and his girlfriend. The little falls with the hollow reeds was still there!

Later, Nicholas lugged up 4 river rocks from the "Crick" for Aunt Renee's garden.  The deal was a dollar a rock.  Talk about determination. An overgrown trail, a deep ravine, an unwieldy 5 gallon bucket, and heavy rocks. No small task! The adults got a chuckle out of this and he was pleases as punch with his $4. And I reckon Renee will find a good spot in the garden for them!

After a breakfast feast of bacon and waffles, we hit the road again.  Thank you Matt and Renee for your grand hospitality.  And thanks Matthew and Andrew for making time for us.

We are headed to Niagara Falls for the surprise part of our trip.  The kids think we are heading home, but it will be a short journey today!
