Missouri

Still not being allowed to upload photos - so annoying. Anyways, a couple of great route 66 days, with a lot more sightseeing than I had expected considering we're still having to pack away 500 km away each day. The babies have run and squealed their way through a great museum in Clinton Oklahoma, a giant cement blue whale in Catoosa Oklahoma and upended Cadillacs in a field In Amarillo Texas, all at top volume. Each day Brendan says his highlight is the campground pool or playground. Oh well, nobody ever said family road trips were non stop fun. Not until you look back at them at least, and have forgotten the parts where your mother yelled at you from the front seat to "stop getting distracted and finish your G.D. spelling dictation homework so she can put the movie back on and make your siblings stop crying". Ahhh, good times. Harrison may have some fond memories however, thanks to his love of Cars the movie. We've met Mater, Mr. Mater (the actual pickup that inspired the movie character - we told Harrison it was Maters father) and Grand Mater (a beautiful old pickup outside the building that inspired Ramones paint shop). Harrison had long conversations with all 3 trucks!

Onto Meramec Caverns and St Louis tomorrow, a train museum on Saturday in Illinois and then into Ontario to crash at my mom and dad's by Sunday. Monday well arrive home and try to beat a path through the waist high grass to the door!
