Not Sleepy

The day after Thanksgiving, Shannon and I took the boys to Americus, Ks (near Emporia) to visit the Anderson family farm. We enjoyed a Mexican dinner with Jarod Anderson's family and played games and shot blue rock, having a fantastic and enjoyable afternoon. So enjoyable in fact that the boys never took a nap. They were too busy playing with the Anderson kids, the farm cats and hunting dogs, and petting a few two-thousand-pound bulls down at the feedlot.



When evening came we loaded the kids back in the van and set out for home. Shannon asked the boys to please sit quietly and get some sleep but the boys loudly protested, "We can't Mom; we're not sleepy!"

Less than ten minutes later, and just moments after their protests, we stopped at a gas station, looked back at the boys and saw this:



Hey, two out of three ain't bad.
