Jolly Green Giant...

On our way home we had to stop at the Jolly Green Giant...We have to stop here every time we come to Blue Earth...it is a very big deal to Elsie! Last time we were in B.E. Jon and Elsie tried to climb the ladder to see the giant...but it was too cold outside and Elsie wanted to go back to the car!
In our town we have a big statue of a Deer...and we always laugh at all the people who stop to take their picture in front of the Deer...so it is always in the back of my head wondering if the people of Blue Earth laugh at us!

Laura rode home with us...so she was our photographer...

I am happy to say that the road home went extremely good! Both the kids were so tired that they both slept for quite awhile. Elsie never sleeps in the car...but I know she was tired because she fell asleep while colouring...she was still holding the crayon even! After they woke up we stopped at Taco John's for dinner again...then Laura drove so I could be in the back to entertain the little man! After another melt-down from James he fell back to sleep...as did Elsie...so it was a pretty good ride home. Almost makes me think we could do it again...I said Almost!!
