Tucumcari to Joplin

 We are thankful for a second safe day of travel! It took us a while to find a good rhythm. We ended up stopping several times in the beginning because our potty stops, nursing breaks and gas needs didn't align very well. But the afternoon went smoothly. 

Two places where we stopped had playgrounds. That made Ezra happy. 

Here's some fun facts about the Gentles in the car. 

Caleb is enjoying sitting in the passenger seat for some of our time. I can sit by the littles and help them.

Gen's favorite thing to do is listening to stories - either that I read aloud or from the library app 

Vivian has been using a loom to make a scarf for someone special. She's also been drawing beautiful pictures.

Titus likes looking out the window and looking at Star Wars books.

Ezra has been a peach! He barely complains at all. But he has been spending way too much time picking his nose...

Dorothy has also done better than we expected. She has learned to play peekaboo and that has been fun for all. 

Tomorrow is only a four hour drive to St Louis, where we will stay 2 nights. Looking forward to hitting the zoo and some museums.

Thanks for traveling along with us!
