on the road again... part one...

boy is my face red - - i will start by addressing the giant elephant in the room and say i am so, terribly sorry for not updating the blog sooner. i can't even be sure that there's anyone left out there checking this anymore, but just in case, let me do say that i am sorry for my lack of recent posts and i fully intend to do better in the future. however, it's not like i've just been sitting around eating bon-bons or anything! we've been pretty busy, but that's all the more reason to keep you updated! i actually would like to clear my name just a bit by saying that it's really mommy's responsibility to edit the pictures so that i can blog about them, and that's what has really been causing the delay. she asked me to convey her apologies too, and actually wishes that bon-bon eating was her excuse. in any case, let us blog...

the biggest thing that happened since i last posted was our road trip to indiana! i was really good in the car and we had a great time getting there, staying there, and coming home. we actually had loads of pictures, and mommy has only gone through about half of them. so here's the beginning of the story from the trip with a few pictures to tide you over, and we'll post the rest later...


we started off on wednesday morning and i was feeling pretty good riding along with all my friends. by the afternoon, we were still only in oklahoma and i was ready for a break. well what do you know, we were stopped at a light in a tiny town and saw a park on our left, so we stopped and played a while! :)

and later that day we stopped at a small diner and had some yummy food. we always try to eat at local restaurants when we travel (no chains) and so far both our stops were great. things were going well...

...well folks, that's all for this edition - are you on the edge of your seats? stay tuned soon (i mean that!) for more on our trip, including:

- the st louis arch

- an awesome children's museum

- how i broke my collar bone

- daily breakfast at cracker barrel for the rest of the trip

- seeing beamee, grampee, and selt

- and more!! :)
