We just got home from our family reunion in Wyoming. It was nice to see everyone but being gone for five days was tough on everyone. The drive home took nearly eight hours on that long, boring, state wide ribbon we call I-80. We were all exhausted and went to bed without unpacking.
The next morning I woke my daughter up for our homeschool field trip. She peeked out of one sleepy eye and told me she just got out of the car, she didn't want to get back in it. It wasn't easy(understatement) but I finally got her up, fed and into the car so we could head to Blair, NE to meet up with a couple of our homeschool friends which is about 30-40 minutes away.
As part of the Blair Library Summer Reading Program they had a storm chaser who gave a great talk about storm chasing, tornadoes, radar and safety tips. He 
had slide show for the kids with terrific pictures of different tornadoes. He told all about his storm chasing team and his chase truck named Dorothy. The kids loved it and I learned a few new things too. Afterwards Laramie reluctantly admitted that it was worth getting out of bed and driving for.
