Mommy and the boys are going on a road trip today with a destination of - South Dakota! Unfortunately, Daddy has to work so he is unable to go with us. We have a routine in place for this particular drive. On day one, we go half way which puts us at Great Grandma's house in Clear Lake Iowa. Since Great Grandma is in Arizona for the winter, we decided to do things a little different on this trip. Mommy and the boys are staying with Uncle Dave and Aunt Karrie in Mason City Iowa (about 10 miles from Great Grandma's house.) We haven't seen them for quite a while so we are looking forward to our visit! We stopped for lunch at "Iowa 80", which is a huge truck stop about half way to Mason City. Mommy is experimenting with Brian's growing Independence and this was our first big test. With Spencer in a stroller, Brian announced that "I walk"......so he did. We sat down for lunch with Spencer in a high chair and Brian sitting like a big boy in a regular chair. While Spencer finished up his sandwich, Brian practiced his letters where ever he saw them!
One of the spots the boys had the most fun running around in was this arcade. They had a ball and Mommy didn't have to drop a single quarter into any of the games! Talk about a win win situation!
While we were exploring another area of the truck stop, Brian couldn't help but notice that there was a semi cab parked in the middle of the room! Once he discovered that it was open, he wasted no time crawling up into it so that he could get a better look! Our extended stay at Iowa 80 put us back on the road a little later than we had anticipated, but the boys were having so much fun it was hard to leave! We had wonderful weather all day today and arrived in Mason City with no problems whatsoever!
