Chad with 3 of the kids by the Mississippi. We stopped to see the dam and lock right after crossing into MN from WI. 
Above is one of the "professional pictures" Katie took-- beautiful!
We saw lots and lots of wind turbines. Also saw lots of parts of these being hauled west on semi-trucks. 
Cute one of Micah at a playground. When we got to Sioux Center, Iowa, where my mom's sister and her family live, Uncle Ron and Aunt Kathy hadn't arrived from MI yet-- they were at the same reunion we were on Sat. So we hung out at a park in town for a while-- kids loved it. What a relief after all that riding! Micah LOVED this tunnel-- spent like 10 min in it-- then we found out why... it had a large puddle and he was getting soaking wet. :)
The kids really did very well with the ride. It was long (even longer on the way home!), but they read books and played games and drew pictures and wrote stories and watched videos. Ate a lot of snacks, too. And, happily, Micah and Claire took naps here and there. Oh, me, too. :)
