Of course we arrived Thursday night in the dark, but that just makes driving in from the road that much more exciting.\u00a0 The kids often say they would prefer if we drove at night all the time because it’s so much more interesting than driving during the day, when people’s heads are likely to be stuck in books, and no-one is communicating.\u00a0 It’s true, once the sun goes down, the volume and sheer giddiness factor goes way up! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 It wasn’t quite as much of a problem on this journey, at least for Jacob, because he had someone to chatter with the whole way.\u00a0 The only drawback for me is that I have extremely poor night vision, and once the sun goes down, I’m a hurtin’ unit.\u00a0 So glad I know those ranch roads and all their twists and turns like the back of my hand by now!<\/p>\n
Friday morning we were up bright and early, ate some breakfast bars, brushed our teeth, and said our prayers.\u00a0 Then we locked the doggies in the kennel, loaded up in the white van, and headed off for our adventure.<\/p>\n
