WE ARE HERE!!!
Our welcome sign.
Rachel unloading the truck.
Busy bees...
I took this picture driving 75 miles an hour...how about that?
Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam....
This is how a caravan of cars gets gas at the same time
This is our cozy sleeping quarters.
The World Famous Corn Palace...it is corntastic!
How corny
Our team leaving St. Louis...bright and early!
Long story on the hats...Aaron and Chuck are on my craft team (by default!) and they came up with these gorgeous hats to wear...should be an interesting week!
We have made it to South Dakota....whew! 66 people, 15 vehicles, and 1000 miles and we all made it with no problems and only one trip to the ER so far (not a Crowell)....what a relief. Last night we stopped in Mitchell, SD and slept in the basement of a church...comfy. Kidding of course!
We were so lucky to be able to visit the world famous Corn Palace last night. We even got a tour as well as a spectacular video of the making of the Corn Palace...another joke. The twins wanted to go back this morning because they loved it so much. :)
The drive was absolutely beautiful with the craziest looking hills I have ever seen. I think they are called "lousses"...they formed when glaciers were covered with soil or something like that. Or maybe Aaron was just trying to act smart when he told me that :)
We are sleeping in very tight quarters...we can bounce from air mattress to air mattress. We have a women's room, men's room, and tween/teenage girl room and the snorring room. The teenage boys are sleeping in the hall.
We unpacked the truck with a major team effort...every person was carrying a box, even the twins. :) Miracles are happening already. One small issue is that the hot water heater is NOT working in the youth center where we are staying. The good news is that our showers are supposed to be under 5 minutes long which hasn't been a problem since the water is freezing!
We are off to bed and ready for the real adventure to begin tomorrow...stay tuned! :)
