No drama today, thank goodness. Only one stop - Lake McConaughy in Nebraska. My little water babies just wanted to be in the water all afternoon. They would have stayed over night if we had a tent!
We did have a little excitement (if you want to call it that). About an hour into our trip, the cords came loose on our luggage rack and everything went flying down the freeway. Luckily all the suitcases are tough and survived all the banging around. Not so lucky for my big tub containing all my "toiletries" (make-up, shampoo, curling iron, blow dryer, etc). It SHATTERED!! And several cars behind us proceeded to run over all my stuff despite their best efforts to avoid it. I'm just glad none of it went through their windsheild. So we spent about 45 minutes playing frogger on I-80 salvaging what we could.
This is all that's left of my BRAND NEW blow dryer. It was the worst hit. We did salvage a few things, though pretty much everything is covered in road rash. So a trip to WalMart and $200 later we were back in business.
After following our very confused GPS around Rock Springs for awhile, we finally found this nice little park to have lunch. It has a water play area (Gateway style) that the boys had a blast playing in - mostly Jarod cuz he's my water child, but we did convince DJ to at least get his feet wet.
There was even a gigantic slip and slide set up for the kids to play on.
Jarod was soaked!
