“Are we there yet?” and a reenactment of “The Birds”

The entire day was spent traveling to Estes Park Colorado for the Hart reunion. It was what I would call the “stupidest travel day ever”! Most of that will include inside family jokes, which weren’t too funny during the actual travel. It was 10 hours of travel and that included about 2 hours through a rain storm that soaked our travel hitch. Everyone was tired and very crabby. We couldn’t decide on movies, music, or what sounds annoyed mom the most. By the time we got to the driveway, we were all screaming “Get me out of the car!” Ok, so it wasn’t THAT bad but it was a long day. Kayla summed it all up when she said, “Why cant we just teleport there??”

On a positive note, we stopped at a cool rest stop for lunch. At the end the kids wanted to feed the seagulls that were hanging around for food. Have any of you seen the movie The Birds? Well, that’s exactly what it reminded me of. See pictures for exhibit A and B.

Estes Park is GORGEOUS! I am so excited to walk around Estes Lake every morning. This is totally MY kind of place. Remote and gorgeous. Doubt I could talk Bob into moving here though. We spent the evening playing games like “Would you rather?”, “Signs” and “King Elephant”.

Looks like a beautiful place. Say "hey" to Missy for me. I bet it's gonna be a long ride home after all this is done, right?
