It's that time of year again! It's our annual big road trip. This year we're headed to Colorado!

It's not a road trip unless we stop along the way for an Icee.

Right after we stopped for Icees our 6th butterfly hatched!

Iowa - the land of wind turbines.

Even the rest stop has a wind turbine blade.

It also had a climbing thing and balance beams for the girls.

We stopped for the night in Shelby, Iowa.

We planned to spend half a day in Omaha to go to the zoo, but it looks like we'll have to do that on the way home. 👎🏼
