22 Hour Tour

6:18 AM and my boys are off to go get Chloe the Cub, our new trailer. We found Chloe on craigslist, the only hybrid trailer that had all our desired features. The only bad thing is that the family who is selling the gently used trailer lives on the very very southeast tip of Kansas, so far so that they are actually in Missouri. But we decided it was worth the effort, so Tyler and Tate are off for a 22 hour tour. They will make it to Kansas City tonight, sleep in a hotel and then pick up the trailer bright and early Saturday AM. I would be lying if I said Tyler wasn’t a wee bit nervous about the drive. Tate is not one to sit still for too long, but he wanted to go, he actually woke up at “4 something” because he is just beside himself with excitement about this special trip with his out-of-this-world Daddy. I think (hope?) that the bonding and fun will outweigh any unpleasantness of boredom! Here are the boys at this early hour and as you can see, Chase’s attachment to his “Patty Hat” is still going strong. We said our goodbyes and then the boys got into the truck, one psyching himself up for the long long drive and the other who will soon learn what it actually means to drive 11 hour straight.
