Another Day, Another Drive

Kingman was splendid as usual. After our morning Cracker Barrel run, we hit the road again. We excpect to be at Immanuel Mission at about 8pm tonight (though we made it their earlier last year!). Thank you to everyone that has been praying for us and left us comments. It is fun to read what everyone has been saying and hopefully this blog has been a nice thing for you all to read (especially all of you parents out there!). Everyone is doing great and we are all anxiously anticipating our arrival at the mission. It's hard not to have an enjoyable ride when you are with close to 100 of your friends in cars that are barely off the lot. Of the life we lead!

And We're Off!

Today is the day. The Caravan (15 cars in all!) left VBC at 6:40 this morning. Everyone showed up bright and early (4:30am) and did the last minute sign-ups and preparations before hitting the road. Actually someone slept in and showed up at 6:30 but we won't name her, as to not embarrass her! The drive down was smooth and uneventful. As you can see, we represented the proud nation of Canada on the way. Spencer Colvin and Peter Rapine attached the flag to the Durango at VBC this morning, and contrary to popular predictions, the flag made it all the way to Kingman! Speaking of Kingman, we got here at 7:15pm. The drive was great and we made it safely without a hitch. Well, technically some of the cars have hitches but they were built that way and caused no problems en route. Borax, one of our favorite stops along the way, was unseasonably mild (only 100 degrees or so) and was a nice refuge for our lunch stop. Tony and Nick can be seen basking in the majestic beauty of Borax's pristine wilderness. We will be spending the night in Kingman and will hit the road early tomorrow morning. Thank you for praying for us! We love you guys and miss you all!
