April Showers Bring May Flowers: Day 3: Lincoiln, NE

Hello,
This morning Papa and Bryan woke up at 7:30 to go to the Tire store to get all new tires on the Van. While they did that we all got to ACTUALLY got to sleep in!!! Crazy right!!! So I slept till about 8:30, till Bryce decided to Fart in my direction, WHAT A JOY!!! NOT!!! So I then woke up and walked to the Hotel office to get Breakfast. I had a bowl of Frootloops and a tiny cute little Pastry thing. Once Papa and Bryan got back from the Tire place we packed up and left.
We drove for about a hour to a McDonald's in Omaha to see Bryan's Aunt and Uncle. They were a super sweet couple. We didn't stay for long becasue we still had alot of drivng to do, so we said our good-byes.
Our original plan was to drive to Toledo, OH now that didn't happen becasue of all the other crazy stuff we have encountered. So thats how we ended up in South Bend.
For dinner we stopped of a rest stop that had a little park. This park had a Seasaw, yes you read right a Seasaw and a tire swing. We had fun there!
LATEST ON THE CLOSE TO DEATH STORIES: Then back on the road for our last 3 1/2 hour stretch. Once we got into Indiana we were driving along side a huge Semi who then decided to change lanes but apparently didn't see us so he was inches away from crushing us. We wrote down all the info in the Truck and Beth will be complaining.
The freeway we were on was a Toll Road so when we got off the freeway Papa had to stick the ticket into the machine so it would tell us how much to pay. As all of you know he is no good with electronics so it was really funny trying to watch it. Eventually Bryan had to get out of the car and walk around to do it for him. While all this was happening the cars were piling up behind us and one guy tried to leave. Beth then said "Hey they should know this was gonna take long! We have a California lisence plate" to funny!
Now to the Hotel right? Well yes but not before we circle every parking lot trying to get to our hotel becasue the streets were blocked off. Again HILARIOUS!!!
Well now here we are, safe and sound and still trucking along. We hope to get to New York tommorrw night so we will see if that happens. In the mean time here are the pictures for today ;)
