Happy 4th of July!

We started the morning a little lazy.



Our first 4th of July was spent with the arrival of the moving truck.



Here are just a few of the 17,000 lbs of boxes and furniture that need to be unpacked...











Did they really pack this in a box?



I seem to have lost the children, has anyone seen them?



Well off to bed, they finish unloading the rest of the truck in the morning.

Posted with a semi finish line in sight.

Day 4 and Beyond...

Ok, needless to say I have fallen behind on my posts.

We arrived safe and sound on the 28th of June and have been relaxing since then.

On the last day of driving we had a nice relaxing day and made several stops including one in Topeka KS. The rest stop was in between the divided thruway which had a nice green space to get out and stretch...which we did.



Finally...







Cayden enjoying a nice relaxing morning...



Got the keys to the house a few days early...



Keegan and Cayden playing in the new house...



Daddy and Cayden tuckered out from all our exploring...



Our first time at the Warren, a really beautiful movie theater in Moore, OK. We even took Cayden to see Cars 2. I will have to get pictures next time of the theater, Keegan thought it was a live performance that is how opulent it is.

The boys getting ready to watch the movie...



July 1st was spent celebrating with a bunch of other Canadian families at a BBQ.

The boys in the red shirts playing together...



Another memory first memory...Keegan loses his first baby tooth (July 2nd 2011) Sniff, sniff my little boy is growing up so fast.



Which brings us to today, July 3rd and a great night spent with our friends Kris and Rob and some pre-4th of July fireworks in Bricktown.








































This was how Cayden spent his time...




Tomorrow is July 4th, so lots more festivities, which also includes the arrival of the moving truck...does happy dance.

Detours due to flooding...

Keegan and Fey sleeping thru the crazy storm from last night.



Well this morning started off pretty early for our 3rd day of the trip. We had a smorgasbord of tasty treats for breakfast compliments of Holiday Inn. We topped up the fuel tank and were on our way by 10 am. A slight detour into Nebraska and then back into Iowa got us back on track.








Only to find out that our route of I 29 to Omaha was kinda under water.



















I wasn't fast enough to get the picture of where I 29 completely disappears under water as I was to busy dealing with a sligty annoyed husband concerned we were going to be completely re-routed through Des Moines. Needless to say a slight detour and we were back on track and on 75 on the other side of a very swollen Missouri River.

We e eventually crossed into Kansas ( please picture a road sign here, it was so small and happened so fast, that it didn't happen at all.

Welcome to Kansas

A cool town along 75



We arrived in Topeka around 4:30 and have just been relaxing.



The final leg of our journey starts tomorrow. Where once we arrive in Oklahoma, we will the get to sit and wait for our moving truck to arrive...sigh.



At least we will have time to explore and enjoy the hotel pool.

On another note...
