Farm Road Trip Day THREE
This was technically on day THREE because it was 2am... but it was REALLY the end of day TWO.
We stayed at a jazzy old motel in a town that had a name too unique to remember. {grin}
since all of our heads hit the pillows WAY too late, we were slow waking, and it was a toss up on if we should have breakfast or lunch.....
So we went to Denny's!
It has been YEARS since I have eaten at a Denny's and I am pretty sure we were out of town last time too!
It turns out, someone let them know we were coming and they had a breakfast burrito on the menu that our names written all over it.
Eggs.avocado.tomato.onion.light cheese.minus bacon
served with fresh fruit and a delish mango twist drink.
Besides it being WAY too salty... it was a delightful surprise!

dad's view in the rear-view mirror as we were driving about trying to find THE park. {grin}
after stopping at the wrong park with the right name, we made it to our desired destination...
I was hot and being quite lazy trying to stay in the shade so I sent the boys off with the camera.
I LOVE seeing what pictures they come back with!
these super adorable kiddos belong to Carrie... a dear blog friend that I was SO DELIGHTED to meet! It was like talking with an old friend... so easy... so wonderful... such a treat!
We sat on blankets and let the girls climb all over us...
the boys & bigger girls played on the playground
and the dog kept sneaking off.
Gavin and Sam became fast friends, it was simply adorable!
and we had to try to get a group picture
after everyone was hot, bothered and cranky we decided to leave. {grin}
Carrie can atest to the dying lama sounds coming from one of our unnamed sons over a minor seat adjustment.
This was about the time everyone was DONE... they were sick of being smashed like sardines in the car.
Lucky for us Krista and her amazing family had invited us to stop by their Dairy Queen for a treat. If you're ever in Sauk Centre, MN you MUST stop by their dairy queen... it is THE nicest DQ I have ever been in... really!!!
The boys enjoyed a green slushy, a strawberry shake, a banana split and some chicken and fries.
Paul and I shared a HUGE basket of AWESOME onion rings {i'm seriously craving more they were so delish!} and a waffle basket something that was super yummy!
the girls yelled and tried to scare away all of their customers {grin} but we still had a delightful time!
Thank you so much Krista, Tim and kids! Your entire family is truly a delight.
oh, and did I mention that their children are homeschooled and SO unsocial! Ha! Not! They were so kind, so polite, so interactive... truly wonderful! Krista and Tim you are doing an awesome job!
Paul tried to get a few pictures...
memories are still memories even when the pictures don't turn out! {grin}
THE boys {minus the dads}
after everyone was sweetened up we hit the road again... hoping to make it all the way to the farm but it just wasn't happening....
the C'mon Inn with many POOLS was calling our name around 1am.
I unfortunately forgot my suit... but the boys had a blast swimming!
and for those that know our top carrier troubles.. the above picture is for you! {grin} I am uber thankful for the rails now! Ha!
Day FOUR coming up next! We finally made it to the farm!
