As expected, we didn’t get on the road until fairly late, almost ten to be exact. The morning was spent eating breakfast, packing, and saying goodbye. The drive was pretty simple other than a couple rounds of heavy rain. We had lunch at Panera in South Bend, made a gas stop, and stopped to use the bathroom a couple of times. Luke enjoyed himself and did really well considering the length of the drive. Sunset was quite pretty. We had stopped for “dinner” at a rest area in Kentucky when I took the picture below. Once home I unloaded the car and Liz bathed Luke and put him to bed. I will go to bed soon myself, as I am exhausted.

This morning was a bit slow. I kind of tried to sleep for most of it but wasn’t really successful. After lunch we all went down to the zoo in Grand Rapids for a couple of hours. Luke enjoyed that and the weather was great. This evening we just hung around the house.

Luke turned three and a half years old today. Pretty wild. After breakfast we went for a little walk around the farm and rode on a hay wagon. Luke picked an ear of corn and thought that was pretty cool. We went to see his cousin Hannah play soccer and then returned for lunch. This afternoon we just hung around the farm and picked some more pumpkins. Luke enjoyed that. Tonight after he goes to bed Liz and I will go to the grocery store.
