Dear Eamonn clan,
this one is to you all!! As cedar just figured out 2 days ago " we all have the same name Eamonn" he seemed to relieved and excited about that one!! We just returned from 2 weeks road trippin to the Midwest...It was our first official road trip..the kind where you actually stop..just to stop and sight see, eat yummy food..and shop (okay at Wall Drug)..and it was GREAT..the sun on our arms, feeling the heat of the tar we wandered the great Midwest states...sipping crappy coffee along the way!!! Really we could have gone anywhere and it would have been perfect..we wandered through the Black Hills of SD, saw Mt. Rushmore, cruised the Badlands, ate treats at Wall Drug next to a dinosaur, and made to the land of 10,000 lakes..Minnesota. Watching the kids in awww at Rushmore, sweat in the Badlands, and laugh, cruise to close to tornadoes, scream and sleep in the truck it felt so good..to be free from the everyday rhythms.... of cleaning, working, stressing about this and that...we spent time in MN with family and friends..roamed the worlds biggest Lake..Lake Superior, road trains, feasted more, played on the beach, threw rocks, ran through water, boated, fished.....I love family time...and now we are back..and I can say it was long enough because we all returned ready for our home, animals, rest and a true rhythm.....I love being home, love spending time in my front yard while the boys ride bikes, love watching the goats nibble on weeds, love watching truth walk...find animals and kiss them all over!!!!!! It is summer...a time for sun, play and relaxation...time to sink into family time, sink into kids simple world of needs...sink in the now......thanks to my family for being the best..and thanks to my parents for getting us to the great Midwest :)

yes! road trips are the best! awesome that you guys got out and did it . . . reading your blog brought back old memories of andy and i, freshman yr, driving through the badlands, in awe of each other and the world. and we were JUST talking about saving up to buy a van to go family road-tripping during the winter months! i miss doing that! and so good for the kids! (i love the photo of all three in their lifejackets, peering over the side of the boat.) xoxo damara & andy
