Tripping to Minnesota Part 2

Here's some more pictures as we travel across the mid part of the country on the way from South Carolina to Minnesota. We've not visited Minnesota since April, 2007. I'm looking forward to visiting my parents, seeing my sisters, brother-in-laws; friends; Joe from Ireland; playing a round of Disc Golf in Minnesota; going to the Minnesota Zoo; having my first Jucy Lucy and some RR time.

Later today we're going to the observation deck of the Willis Tower in Chicago. 1,350 feet above the city. Below are some pictures of the trip so far...

When we crossed into Indiana, the Southern Indiana Welcome was closed...this was the best we could do...Parker and Kallsen in front of the Smart Car.

Planes, Trains, Automobiles, and Cows?

Ever wonder if cows could fly? On Friday Kallsen found out that his cow can't fly. We were driving to Grandma's house for the weekend. Kallsen's window was down so that he could see the train beside the road. And all of a sudden "Moo-Moo" was flying out the window. We turned around to go back to get Moo-Moo and we found him laying in the middle of the road. I should say thank you to all the cars who actually dodged Moo-Moo while he was in the road. Moo-Moo did not have a scratch on him. Although Kallsen learned a very important lesson-cows do not fly or ride on trains.
