one hundred seventy-eight:365

Day 10:
On Our Way Home!!
State Line - Baker

Skyler had been wanting to ride this roller coaster for the longest time. That's all he talked about during the trip. He watched it several times on YouTube and talked it up to his brothers. He was all talk..no action! Once we got there, he said he didn't want to do it! As the good mother that I am, I refused to let him NOT do it. Yes, I basically forced him. He told me I was a bad mom for making him do something he didn't want to do. I just had the wisdom to know that he would have regretted it had he not done it. So despite the tears, I made him go. And just as I suspected, he was so glad he did it! He loved it! I have a great video to prove it.
Funny thing..Ryder wanted to ride it so badly that he wore 3 pairs of extra socks (at the advice of his big brother Skyler) to make himself taller. It didn't work and he was so disappointed..the whole casino knew how disappointed he was!
The look of pure terror is in his eyes!
Home Sweet Home
Had the largest thermometer in the world been working, it would have said: 125 degrees!
Ouch...it was HOT in Baker.

2, 700 miles, 392 pictures, 10 days filled with loads of memories, and priceless time with family!! This trip was better than I hoped it would be. Yes, there was the occasional fighting in the car..that was to be expected, but the boys did such a good job and were good little travelers. I'm ready to do it again...where will we go next??
