Our arrival at the KOA was followed by encountering two young kittens running through the parking lot&#8230; and after we caught them and played with them for a few minutes, they followed us around <em>everywhere<\/em>. On our porch, around our van, into our cabin&#8230; they even followed us out to the pool (although they didn&#8217;t come in for some reason), and waited for us outside the bathroom. What fun!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Our drive today, only six hours from Colorado, went MUCH more quickly than the previous two days! Elayne and Titus continue to do well, and we&#8217;ve been greatly encouraged by how they&#8217;ve responded during the long car rides. Amy and I enjoyed another of John Hunter&#8217;s messages (this time on the importance of thankfulness in our walk with God), and enjoyed several games and sing-a-longs while we drove.<\/p>\n<p>While we couldn&#8217;t imagine how this trip could be progressing any better, we are all definitely anticipating its (short-term) end! Tomorrow will not only end with our arrival in Tahlequah (Lord willing), but grant us an opportunity to visit with the kids&#8217; Auntie Taylor (soon to be officially!) along the way. Her proximity to our temporary home in Oklahoma will be a great blessing, and we hope to visit Taylor and her family a few times before she and Amy&#8217;s brother Josh are married this November.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s about it for today! One more daily &#8216;as-we-travel&#8217; post tomorrow, and we&#8217;ll be back to our usual about-once-a-week post schedule. Thanks so much for coming along with us as we&#8217;ve travelled&#8230; your comments, emails, and calls have been a huge encouragement to our family!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trip so far: 22hr 49min, 1557.6 mi Today: 9:28am MST to 5:33pm CST Swimming was postponed today on account of kittens!
