Shhhh ... buffalo roaming.

We love taking road trips, but it seems the return trip never has the same excitement as the travels there. That is, unless you have Papa in your van. At one point on the terribly blah stretch of I-70 through Western KS, the boys were getting wiggly and tired of sitting in their carseats. Reid was whining non-stop, and Luke kept chiming in, too. Papa (who is notorious for concocting tall tales) told the boys that they needed to be as quiet as possible because we were entering some land where herds of buffalo roamed. If they were too loud, the boys would scare the buffalo who would come running after them. This ingenious rendition of the infamous "Quiet Game" worked ... but only for about 3 minutes. Oh well. It was good for a laugh with the rest of us!
