Spring Break

This year, right before we were about to go to Indiana (to see family over spring break) our van kind of broke down...well, okay, not really broke down, but we were afraid it might on the way because it's becoming more unreliable. Long story short, we decided to take my dad's truck, insted of renting a van 'cause it's spring break and there were no vans to rent(they were all out.) We bagged up our luggage into trash bags, secured them into the back of the pickup, and headed to Indiana. We're used to a van, and usually, we get our own (seperated, meaning not squished together) seat. It wasn't terribly sqished...it was almost better because we had most of our luggege in the back. But when we needed to get out, the people on the sides of the van dumped all their stuff (coats, pillows, bags, blankets) onto the person in the middle so they could open the door. I didn't like the middle seat. Well, anyway it went pretty well...the best part was we got to watch a few movies in the back (we played them onto the computer)=) We stoped at our Aunt's and Uncle's on the way there. We played dutch blitz, and that was fun. Then, we went to our grandparents house and played lots of games (Connect Four, Spades, Upwords, Rook) Watched old TV shows (Andy Grithith, Perry Mason...etc.) and stuff like that. It's a super small town (like two football fields) and so we walked around it a few times a day. They had some old railroad tracks that went through the town that were really fun to walk on. We also went to stay overnight at my Uncle and Aunts house while my Mom was having a sisters weekend, and my dad was in Ohio working. We also got to play with our cousins (ages 3, and 1 1/2) We played with them for almost the entire time... I caught "butterflies" with Lily (grasp wildly in the air and exclaim "Look, I have 10! and it's blue/pink/orange etc.) and read to Conner. It was fun. Nothing much else happened...we traveled home, got stuck in a 2 hour long trafic jam, got lost for about 10 minutes, and went to a fudge shop while my dad had a meeting, and watched Ratatouille on the way home. =)
