Well, our trip is almost over. Tonight we're in Missoula, Montana and tomorrow we'll have made it to our destination in Washington. We spent a wonderful morning in Yellowstone. I hope someday we'll be able to go back and see more, it was so amazing. Lilly got to see more "elephants", and Hana and Ria got to make more of their "nature show". I really never thought we'd have so much fun.
The girls have done so well in the car on this long, long, long, long, journey, I'm so proud of them. I know our trip hasn't been what anyone else would consider amazing, but for us, it's been superb. For us, just the fact that we've all been able to sleep every night, without listening to Lilly scream about chicken nuggets or the pool, has been pretty great. I've heard things come out my my children's mouths that amused and amazed me. When we were in downtown Rapid City, SD, Maria told John, "Sometimes you make me worry!" Today as we picnic-ed in bear country, Hana told Maria, "If a bear sneaks up on me, you have to tell me!". And best of all, yesterday morning, as we drove thru the dark early morning in South Dakota, Lilly said to me, "The stars! All across the sky!"
I have in the past despaired the possibility of ever enjoying travel with Lilly. While we have had some tough moments, I have to admit this trip has been a blast and Lilly has been so good. I'm full to the brim with gratitude, and awe.
So here we are, a family of robots, full in Montana.
