Fort Laramie was...meh. befroe that, we actually made to stops- there are some areas where you can see the wagon ruts from the Oregon trail, and we looked at one of them. I was 97 degrees outside-we didn't stay long. Then, Fort Laramie was a 3 hour stop, fairly interesting, and the we finally arrived in our 5-day stopover point- Inside and comfy in a huge house belonging to B's sister, which is huge and currently contains 4 children, ages 6,6,8, and9, three adults, myself, and over the course of the two days we've been here, a visiting grandmother and the girl's father flying in from California.
We got here, ate dinner (finally, something other than burgers),and there was after-dinner baseball in the street. Yesterday, we went to a local creek, then to a local pizza place, and there was some sort of street fair between the food and the car- we got balloon butterfies for the E-monster and her cousin, and a huge hat for Elfie, then swam in the afternoon at a pool with this awesome slide, then played basebal until dinner.
Today was less eventful- Baseball in the morning, then kickball, and a buch of board games after lunch. We made mac and cheese from not-a-box for lunch, and went out for asian food (which turned out to be mostly sushi for dinner (mmmm...sushi...mine was this thing called Long Dragon Roll, and it was unagi on top of a california roll, and it tasted even more amazing than it looked))and then we got back and I realized I hadn't blogged in two days and I should before people get worried...so I did, and now, I'm sleepy. My G key is acting funny, and I'm rambling because I need sleep. Goodnight.
