Here is the cornfield in the back of my friend Donna's house. Corn is MUCH taller when you are close up than when you see it from the highway. It was really nice to have a day with no driving. We had nice home-cooked meals, including Omaha steaks, fresh sweet corn, watermelon, and home-made apple pie for dinner.
The kids played in the pool, went to a park and fed the geese, rented paddleboats for a ride on a small lake, and got rides on the four-wheeler at night. They loved playing with Donna's kids. Justin was so excited to have a baby to play with and wanted a baby brother. He asked Donna if we could take baby Max with us. Kaelyn loved the kids too - but really made friends with the dogs. She played with them all day, and even made friends with the dog at the boat rental place.
Kaelyn really wants to get a dog when we get home. We promised we'd think about it after this big long trip was over - maybe around Christmas time.
Donna and I had a wonderful time catching up. I think it's actually been a few years since we've seen each other, but we always pick up as if it were just yesterday. Now time has flown and we are packed and ready to get "on the road again", starting early tomorrow morning.
We have kept a marker trail of our journey on a big USA map -- it's looking pretty impressive so far... over 1500 miles.
