...and they're off

Mom and Dad and Jayne and Dalaynee are on their way to Minn. for Uncle Dicks and Auntie Mary's anniversary. I just spoke to the niece and she says "Auntie Laur, we drive and drive and drive and then we stop at Motel 6 and then we eat supper at Old McDonalds and then we put on our jamma's and then we sleep and then we get up and have breakfast at Old McDonalds and then we drive and drive and drive". That about sums up a road trip for a 4 year old... Don't think Mom and Dad have made that trip with a little kid in quite some time...should do them good, don'tja think?
And dear Calvin left for Scotland today. He flies for 10 hours to London, then another plane trip to Glasgow and from there takes a train to Edinburough. He's on a mission trip with kids from his church to work at a VBS in a church there. He'll turn 17 while he's there. I told him I want a picture of him in a kilt...He's a good kid. Someone told me just lately, he is just dreamy...yup, that's our Calvin. Oh yeah, we had an earthquake yesterday too...7.4. God's just trying to get our attention, that's all.

yeah, that is exactly what our vacations could be summed up as too! They are great though. Calvin should have a ton of fun. I heard that is a little wet over there right now though, so I you may see more waterproof jacket pictures than kilt picutes!

I remember Minnesota road trips at that age...she's correct.

I think the quake was 5.4 - 7.4 would be the BIG one.

Quite the handsome young man heading out to Scotland! And WOW Laur, didn't realize the quake was quite that big!!! Hope your parents, Jayne and Dalaynee had a good trip.
