All Roads Lead to TEXAS!!

Today’s 43 was a wide bicep curl with one of my bands (the perfect travel tool!!).

I stood with my feet fairly wide apart so that I could add tension to the band.

(never mind the bed in the background – joy of a hotel room!)  By the time I finished 43 of these, my arms were shaking!!!

I’m using this week as a bit of recovery from the past few weeks of 2-3 workouts a day!  Today I did one of my old favorites (a perfect workout for a hotel room!!) – Turbo Fire – Fire 45.  It was nice to be reunited with Chalean!!!  

Kansas to Abilene, TX – 8.5 hours in the car – GOOD TIMES!!!!  

The boys took a few (like 500) pictures during our drive – don’t worry, I’m not going to include all of them!

Jordan feels the need to try and freeze me out in the car – I had my temp set at 72 (because I was in the sun and it was 95 outside) and he had his side at Low (60) – and then he uses a blanket – nice!!!

Hunter probably took 200 pictures (or more) of Jordan during the day – I guess he wanted to make sure and document any changes during the day!!JordanNear Lawton, OK there are a few miles where it looks like there is a mountain (ok – hill) range nearby.Screen shot 2013-06-23 at 8.11.02 PM

Hunter did take a few pictures that weren’t Jordan – not sure exactly what all he was trying to get but….Screen shot 2013-06-23 at 8.15.15 PMAfter about 6 hours of driving, we made it to God’s Country!!!Screen shot 2013-06-23 at 9.30.11 PMWhen the boys weren’t entertaining themselves and each other with their picture taking skills, they were pretend sleeping.  I guess trips with teen-agers involve more sleeping than trips with small children.  I had to find ways to keep myself busy – music and self-portraits!KimFinally, 8.5 hours after we left home we made it to Abilene!

The boys enjoyed a couple hours of swimming while I unloaded the car, enjoyed a nice happy hour drink and relaxed a little!!

Today will include more swimming for the boys and time with my 98 year-old Poppa!!!

Happy Monday!
