Three days until my family comes to visit!Yesterday we were in Hannibal, Missouri, which is just along the state line. If you didn't know, it is the home of Mark Twain. It just so happened that the night we were there the Tom Sawyer Days festival was going on. This included mud volleyball, the National Fence Painting Competition, and fair rides. For me, it included Huckleberry Finn flavored ice cream and jumping into the Mississippi River. The swim was so satisfying, I was real happy after that.
I was always more of a Huckleberry Finn fan than Tom Sawyer. The wind has been brutal but it's all good. I am counting down the days until Kansas and family. I hope all is well at home, Rachel
Alex, Rachel and Jeff into the Mississippi!

Hey Rachel,
Just got caught up on your blog and thanks for the awesome updates! WOW - you are so courageous and have never-ending stamina!
I talked to Jill @ church today and she's really looking forward to seeing you this week - I know you must be counting down the days - HAVE FUN (and they owe you LOTS of ice cream!) :)
Hey, as you get close to Colorado, you better load up with the ice cream as well.....I've driven the same path you all are taking on your bikes and you will no doubt see some spectacular scenary, but WOW, that's one your legs will not forget!
Take care, be safe & we're thinking of you back home!
Much love,
Holly
