On our recent trip to St. Louis, we had to stop at a rest stop.

Whenever we stop, the children always run around and stretch their legs. If we’re in a parking lot, without a safe place to run, we just do 50 jumping jacks as a family. It’s usually quite a spectacle, and yes, people stop and stare at us. (But we’re used to it. LOL)

When it’s time to head out, Jim whistles and I yell, “To the Ship!”

This time the children made a game out of loading up the Sprinter. Unfortunately, they didn’t give Indigo a large enough head start, so she got a bit upset:

We do even the simple things with style, don’t you think? LOL
