The first two days we made our way to Oklahoma. Liam actually did pretty good. A nice surprise! I stayed in the back seat with him most of the time and entertained him. I sang a lot of songs, we didn't have to bring out the iphone too often. He has a hard time falling asleep in his car seat so I have to pat him till he is out. But overall I feel like the trip went faster with him. I fed him, played with him, and then patted him to sleep. We had it figured out by the time we got to Alabama!
We had to stop on the side of the road to change him and that was probably the most eventful part of the drive! It was pretty boring. I wanted to do a dives, diners, and drive ins road trip but we didn't plan it out very well. There was only three stops and we missed them all. Maybe on the way home.
The first night stopping was rough though, he was up all night. But he did a little better in Oklahoma. We made it to Oklahoma and got to spend a few great days with Kim and her family.
Spending time with them was so much fun! We rarely get to see them and so I look forward when we are able to stop on our way across country. It is kind of tradition to go eat at the Hmong Cafe. Adam can brush up on his Hmong speaking skills and eat good food. Adam was able to fix Kim and Dirks car. Asher loved Liam! Liam loved playing with his cousins. It is always great to spend time with them.
After another 10 hour drive we made it to Alabama!! Our home for the summer!

Hi Dantz and Adam,
These pics are too good of that chub-a-bub Liam. He's too cute and funny! Dantzelle you are going to blow away in a wind storm, you're too skinny. Your pics are super cute. I wish I could kiss that child to death, he's so darling!
Lv Mom,... be careful.
I've done the long car drive before with kids. We took an 18 hour drive with my 2 1/2 year old and 2 month old at Christmas time. It was rough! We realized that the baby hated the car. We just took a 5 hour road trip last week and the baby still hated the car. That's so good that your baby adapted so easily!
