We left before lunch time to head home. Our plan was to stop in Cedar Rapids to visit Great Grandpa Dick on our way home. The hour and a half drive ended up with us sitting on the highway for 5 hours due to an accident! We were about a mile from a U turn, and there were rumors that people were getting ticketed for turning around at them. So we waited, and waited, and waited...until finally we gave in and did the U turn, took a detour and were finally on our way to Cedar Rapids. Not only was Grandpa Dick's on our way home, but due to the funeral this week, Ed would not be able to go to IA for his and Great Grandpa Dick's birthday's next week like he had originally planned. So we picked up a DQ cake to share with him. Our visit was very short due to our sitting on the highway for 5 hours! But we got to visit a bit none the less.
Kids and Great Grandpa Dick
He was very happy to see us, even if it was short.
Saying see you later!
After a very long day in the car...these kids did great. While we were stuck on the highway, miraculously, no one had to pee. We were in and out of the car to entertain them. Then we were able to stretch while visiting Great Grandpa Dick. Then we gased up and got some dinner and were on the road the rest of the way home. A 5 hour energy later, Ed and I made it awake the whole way home. Was dark when we pulled in. Then it was off to bed to prepare for Rowan's last day of school tomorrow.
