Well we are out at my in laws. Bodie did ok on the trip out. The first hour he was ok just hanging out in his car seat. He looked tired and since it was dark we thought he might sleep but no dice. The second hour had Bodie's discovery of the wonderful world of Blues Clues (yes I am a big fan but I will always like Steve better than the new guy, Joe?). Bodie was really starting to get tired around hour 3. We had planned to make a pit stop in North Platte to use restrooms and switch drivers. I joked to Curt that Bodie would probably fall asleep 5 minutes before we were to stop. Sure enough that is what happened. And in true Bodie form once we were ready to hit the road again he was not ready to sleep. It was kind of cute because it seemed he tried to do everything he could to stay awake. He played with his shoes, tried to see what goodies were in the bag next to him. After about 1 more hour on the road (and watching the first chunk of Shrek several times due to mommy and daddy not being proficient in using the DVD player) we remembered we forgot to bring Bodie's travel "high chair". We stopped in Ogallala and thankfully the Pamida was open. We found a nice booster chair for only $10. Bodie loved getting out and running around the store. They were playing Christmas music and Bodie just loves to dance. I wish I had video to post but he really gets his dance moves from his daddy :). Bodie did ok the rest of the trip. He was just very overtired and had some fussy points because of that.
We arrived to see Grandma Cheri and Grandpa Allen and when we walked in the door Bodie just started crying. I really though this trip was going to be the repeat of our last one, when I couldn't so much as leave the room with out him melting down. He adjusted in about 5 minutes though. Grandma Cheri had a nice John Deere toy for him to play with. He's loved showing off all of the words he says, showing his dance moves, smiling and laughing for anyone and everyone. We drove to town tonight to attend an opening of a new coffee roasting business and Bodie just wanted to run around screaming (of course in a cute, non-obnoxious way). But not such a good idea when people are walking around with coffee and wine. So our stay there was not long. Bodie did get fussy on the drives to and from town. I asked him how we could ever move to the country if he couldn't handle the drive. I guess he would just get used to it if that ever happens.
Tomorrow we are driving 2.5 hours to Chadron for the Chadron State v. Abilene Christian football game...Go Eagles!! Hopefully we will meet up with our friends Chad and Carlye as we don't get to see them but maybe once a year if we are lucky. One last funny story. Curt's best friend Cory and his wife Brooke were scheduled to have a c-section today to deliver their baby girl. When Cory realized Chadron State would probably be hosting the game this weekend he tried talking Brooke into rescheduling the delivery. Needless to say that did not go over very well.
