Day 9 - Dillon, Mt - to Nampa, ID

White Truck count - 420; Jamin wins again....how is he winning when he isn't on the trip? ::snort:: It is apparent that white trucks are more popular in TX, WY and SD.

We had a slow morning. I fixed french toast and we headed out for ID.

Rena, a friend of the girls, saw that we would be in ID and texted to see if we could meet. We met for lunch off the Interstate. Fun. Can't wait to see photos of little Noah David this fall. I knew him WHEN. ::snort::

Jared drove with me today. He quickly learned that driving with me involves detours....

Great Harvest? I love Great Harvest bakeries....whole grain bread with 5 ingredients (fresh ground grain, water, honey, butter, yeast).

The day looked bright until we were told they were NOT an outlet but....

...and taking photos. ::snort::

Jared enjoyed the scenery in this area more than the heavily wooded areas of SD and MT. He likes the wide open skies and spaces. I love it all. I'm drinking in the green.

I had a bit of trouble staying awake....so we had to stop a few times to stretch....and we kept trying to find radio stations to listen to.....did you know there are COUNTRY CHRISTIAN radio stations?

Josiah and Jamin move into their new 2 bdr apartment today. We are spending the day with our college buddies who had planned to take Beatrix.

Zander's Making Money

Photobucket


Years ago a gentleman from church, Joe Hollingsworth, gave every child a dollar when they brought him a tooth that they'd lost at church. Our girls were sad to be moving away from the church right when they were starting to be able to take advantage of this....so we've offered the same deal all these years.

Yesterday, Zander lost a tooth.

A few moments ago, Zander lost a tooth.

"I think I know how I'm going to make money, Mom!"

Another Funny Sign

Look closely at the name of the business and the flag outside of it to the right....really? The welcome mat is out? That's one bit of welcome I think I'll put off as long as possible.
