Enjoying Family Time

Sunday we got the chance to go to Grandma-ma's & Grandpa Long's for dessert . . . a weekly tradition for the local family that we were excited to be a part of this week.

Amazingly there were 11 kids in the house, but they all played so well together!

On Monday we celebrated Amy's birthday with a yummy BBQ and pool party. We spent the rest of the day just relaxing and packing to go home.

The drive home was pretty routine, except for when we went to put in a DVD for the kids. We could not get the DVD player to work at all. There is a disc in there, but we can't even get it to eject, let alone play. Maybe the DVD system got reset or something when we had the battery problems. Usually we only watch about 2 movies on the 11-hour drive, but it was hard when the kids got restless to not be able to turn something on for them!

We had a FANTASTIC vacation. Now it is time to enjoy being home and enjoy the last 2 weeks before school starts!
